What is recorded here
Duns, 8 Castle Street is a surviving flat and shop where domestic life and commerce shared one address across two centuries. The building still stands in the Scottish Borders, carrying the weight of decades when people cooked, slept, worked and dealt in the same small space. Its walls may have held arguments, laughter, hunger and pride, all compressed into rooms narrow enough to force every action into notice.
