What is recorded here

Fifty-one Castle Street stands in St Andrews as a nineteenth-century house, its walls holding the quiet traffic of a town that has watched ships, saints and tourists pass for centuries. The exact address survives on the national record, but the rooms may have contained lovers, merchants, children or ghosts, depending on which century you enter. Castle Street itself is a edge, a place where inside and outside keep negotiating, and the house participates in that argument whenever a door opens.
