What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 17 South Hermitage Square stands as a small cottage in the Scottish Borders, recorded without a clear period but marked on the official map to within one metre. The exact point suggests a lived room, a heated hearth and a door that opened onto ordinary streets rather than a grand estate. Whatever it lacked in size, it kept the kind of human warmth that makes a place rememberable.
