What is recorded here

Newcastleton occupies number 40 on South Hermitage Street in the Scottish Borders, a small cottage still standing where human life once moved through wood and stone. The precise boundary remains unknown, but the address is exact enough to picture a kitchen table, a sleeping child, and a door opened for rain. Whether the walls witnessed joy or hardship, they held the shape of ordinary days.
