What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 42 South Hermitage Street is a cottage in the Scottish Borders, recorded without a period but marked to the nearest metre. It stands as a small, exact point on the landscape, perhaps still holding the shape of hands that built it or lives that passed through its doors. The absence of a date does not empty it; it withholds one fact while leaving the chamber, threshold and room intact.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 42 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.
