What is recorded here
Castlecraig began as a temporary Roman camp in the Scottish Borders, proving the land attracted soldiers before it attracted lords. It later became a grand estate where Carmichael, Mann and Thomson families layered their ambitions across centuries. The house now serves addiction recovery, turning its marble pillars and carved panelling into instruments of healing rather than display.
