What is recorded here

Stopford Street in Newcastleton is a narrow cut through old stone, crowded with houses that lean into one another like secrets being passed along. The unnamed cottage west of number one is not marked as exceptional, yet it sits inside a town that has watched border wars, trade carts and winter darkness for centuries. Whether it housed a weaver, a soldier or a family that learned to heat a small room with patience, the wall still holds the shape of that life.
