I cannot find another Castleton (just nearby Castleton Muir and Old Castleton) and suspect that both articles refer to the same village. Please correct me if wrong. Finavon ( talk) 13:25, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
On 24 May 2006, an unnamed user, without a corresponding citation, added a third sentence to the stub article of the time: 'Newcastleton was built as a result of the land clearances in the 1790s when people were forced to move from Old Castleton village'.
In the talk note above, it says 'the village was replaced at the end of the 18th century by the Duke of Sutherland'. But SUTHERLAND was about Highland Clearances, not 'Lowland' clearances.
One webpage states: 'Newcastleton built in 1793 by the Duke of Buccleuch to capitalise on the growing textile markets, it has conservation status'.
Can it be confirmed whether (i) the replacement was due to land clearances, or (ii) a planned village of artisans by a duke ( Duke of Buccleuch?)? Q8682 ( talk) 12:33, 31 May 2021 (UTC)
