What is recorded here
Thirty-one Castle Street in Dumfries is a nineteenth-century terraced house now occupied by a hairdressers salon. The old stone structure still stands beside its neighbours, but inside scissors replace ghosts and shampoo replaces dust. Whoever cuts hair there now works within walls that have watched the street change for generations. The building survives by adapting, not by freezing in time.
