What is recorded here

Neidpath Castle, Courtyard Buildings (east Range) stands in the Scottish Borders as a post Medieval building, its east range forming one edge of a courtyard that once shaped the rhythm of castle life. Rooms may have held kitchens, storage or private chambers, and the stones may still carry the heat of hands that built or lived there. The exact layout remains unclear, but the chance of domestic warmth and hidden use makes the place more interesting than a bare label.
