What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 23 South Hermitage Street is a small cottage in the Scottish Borders, recorded without a clear period but marked on the official map to the nearest metre. It may have housed farmers, weavers or travellers, though no name or date survives in the fact supplied. The precision of its point contrasts with the emptiness of its story, inviting wonder rather than certainty.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Newcastleton, 23 South 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.
