What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 41 South Hermitage Street stands in the Scottish Borders as a house without a known age, a gap in time rather than a fact. It may have sheltered lovers, traders or fugitives, but the absence of a date denies them a stage. The address is precise, the history is not, and that uncertainty is the shape of the place.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 41 South Hermitage Street as 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.
