What is recorded here
Oldcastles, Windpump stands in the Scottish Borders as a bare wind pump, its working period still unassigned. The structure may have pulled water for livestock, people or fields, but no date or owner is recorded. Its exact position is known within ten metres, yet the pump itself remains a silent thing, turning only when the border wind still catches it.
