What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 14 North Hermitage Street is a cottage in the Scottish Borders, recorded without a date but marked on the official map to the nearest metre. It may have housed families who worked the land or tended animals through border winters, their breath fogging the windows while rain struck the roof. The exact location survives even if the story does not, inviting wonder rather than certainty about who lived there or when they left.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 14 North 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.
