What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 5 North Hermitage Street is a terraced house in the Scottish Borders, recorded without a clear period but marked on the official map to the nearest metre. It stands among other homes rather than apart from them, yet that small precision suggests someone measured it twice and believed it worth keeping. The absence of a date does not empty it; it withholds only the year, not the life that filled the rooms or the hands that brushed its walls.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 5 North Hermitage Street as Terraced House (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.
