What is recorded here

Lanark, Castlegate Port is a gateway in South Lanarkshire, Scotland. The name suggests a port on Castlegate, yet no water is recorded beside it. Perhaps carts, people or ideas once flowed through that gate like a harbour road. The place still works as a threshold, marking the boundary between the town and the world beyond.
