What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 5 South Hermitage Street, stands as an unassigned house in the Scottish Borders, its exact era lost to time but its position marked to the nearest metre. The absence of a date does not diminish the house; it suggests a life unrecorded, rooms used and emptied before memory faded. A person may have lived there, named the rooms, and disappeared from history while the walls remained.
