House (17th Century), Sundial (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Seven Castlegate stands in Jedburgh as a seventeenth-century house tied to Prince Charlie, its stones holding the heat of borders and rebellion. A sundial still marks the passage of days beside the door, measuring light and shadow long after the men who watched it vanished. The house does not need a hero repeated; it keeps the shape of the world when charity and pride collided.
