What is recorded here

That is the only fact in this story. The outbuilding stands behind Liddle Street in Newcastleton, and no human event is recorded for it. Invention would replace a missing fact with a pleasant fake one. Keep the gap visible and ask one witness whether the claim is true.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 8 Liddle Street, Outbuilding to Rear as Outbuilding (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
