What is recorded here

Newcastleton, 2 Douglas Square is a post Medieval cottage in the Scottish Borders, small enough to hide inside its own walls but persistent enough to remain marked. It may have held a family, a trader or a keeper of local knowledge, though no named life survives in the fact given. The cottage still belongs to the town's memory, waiting for someone to picture the lamp, the door and the reason it was built.
