What is recorded here
Castle Street in Stranraer belongs to Dumfries and Galloway, where the harbour and border trade have shaped daily life for generations. The exact location is known within one metre, sharp enough to walk beside rather than guess at. Whether the street recorded a market, a military movement or an ordinary neighbourhood remains open, but the place still holds the shape of that forgotten activity.
