What is recorded here
Scottish Borders, Scotland, contains the Tyne and Wear, Newcastle Upon Tyne, City Library, a twentieth-century reading place still marked on the official map. The name belongs to Newcastle, yet the point sits in Scotland, which suggests a transcribed identity rather than a true address. A person may have written the wrong region, copied the wrong city or recorded a branch that no longer exists. The library remains plausible because maps preserve more than buildings; they also preserve the mistakes made while naming the world.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Tyne and Wear, Newcastle Upon Tyne, City Library as Library (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
