What is recorded here
Darnick Cottage, Little Peel stands in the Scottish Borders as a possible medieval tower house, its stones waiting to reveal whether they guarded a family or merely marked a boundary. The uncertainty is not a flaw but an invitation: a room may have held a child, a door may have swung shut against rain, and a window may have watched the valley change owners. What is certain is that the place still exists, named and locatable, while the life inside it has thinned into suggestion.
