What is recorded here
Castle Street in Duns cuts through the Scottish Borders as a lived space rather than a marked monument. The exact position is known within ten metres, yet the street itself remains unassigned to any single period. People may have walked it for centuries, carrying bread, children or trouble under changing skies. The absence of a date does not diminish the place; it refuses to be reduced to one moment of human life.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Duns, Castle Street, General as General View (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
