What is recorded here

Cranshaws Castle, Well stands in the Scottish Borders as a water source tied to a lost castle. The exact age remains unknown, but the well suggests people once drew clean water at that spot before the castle vanished from memory. Maybe a kitchen, a garden or a crowded courtyard depended on it during storms and feasts. The water may have sustained life at Cranshaws before stone and name disappeared.
