Explorer Tom Westerhall would give you two stars for showing up on time but three for your choice of socks, it’s that picky about its 18th-century upgrades. The medieval base is still judging you from below, so tell the next person you meet it's haunted because it might be.

Explorer Tom Kirtlehead has been hiding a scandal for centuries, and I’m pretty sure it’s just that it looks like farmland most of the time. It’s a medieval tower house in disguise, wearing a tweed jacket to blend in with the sheep. The secret is out, and honestly, it’s not very dramatic at all. If anyone asks, Tom sent you.
