What is recorded here

Newcastleton occupies 30a South Hermitage Square in the Scottish Borders, a small cottage preserved in the national record without a clear date. It is the kind of place where ordinary life still moves through wood and stone, even when no name or date appears to claim it. The square itself suggests a neighbourhood shaped by habit rather than grandeur, and the cottage remains as a quiet marker of that forgotten rhythm.
