What is recorded here

Duns, 53 Castle Street stood as a nineteenth-century office, its exact position marked to the nearest metre on the official map. The building may have housed merchants, clerks or local administrators, though no surviving detail confirms who worked inside or what they recorded. Its presence suggests a time when Duns sustained enough commercial activity to require dedicated workspace rather than domestic rooms. The office has faded from memory, leaving only its coordinates and a gap where human routine once occupied the space.
