Statement of Interest

Insurance plaque still attached below pediment (there is also one at 14 Langtongate). The former door to the E suggests that the property was once divided. It stands in a very prominent position on the road N out of Duns, and was at one time an inn. The adjoining property, 62 Castle Street, is of a similar whinstone build.
