What is recorded here
Castlecraig began as a temporary Roman camp in the Scottish Borders, proving that even imperial armies needed somewhere to rest their boots before marching onward. Centuries later the same ground produced a mansion for asthma children and now a recovery house where desperate people learn to breathe again. The camp disappeared, the buildings changed hands, and the human need for relief remained constant beneath the stone.
