What is recorded here
Newcastleton, Boosie Plantation, Short Sike Underbridge remains an unclassified bridge in the Scottish Borders, hiding beneath a plantation where the land still claims back what people forget. The exact point is known to the nearest metre, yet the structure itself resists easy dating or description. A road may have crossed the sike, a cart wheel worn smooth by rain and gravel, while the bridge disappeared into shadow and soil. It is the kind of place that remembers being useful long after people stop naming it.
