What is recorded here

Newcastleton occupies number 12 South Hermitage Street in the Scottish Borders, a private house hidden from official period labels yet anchored to the earth with one-metre certainty. It may have witnessed border raids, quiet weddings or forgotten arguments, but no public record confirms those lives. The exact position survives even when the story does not, waiting for a neighbour or descendant to speak its name.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 12 South Hermitage Street as House (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.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
