What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 11 South Hermitage Street, is a small Borders cottage where the stone still remembers the temperature of the hands that built it. The exact position is known to the nearest metre, yet the interior remains hidden from most eyes. That gap between precision and secrecy is the shape of the place: a point sharp enough to plot, but a life wide enough to withhold.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 11 South Hermitage Street as Cottage (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.
