What is recorded here

Newcastleton, General was an 18th Century village in the Scottish Borders. It is no longer called a village in the official record, but the name still points to a human settlement that existed there. The boundary between memory and fact blunts when a place disappears from the list. What remains is a coordinate and a time when people lived there.
