Situate on the Southwest side of Lauder is a very inconsiderable town - a place of no trade but what is Strictly local, in all respects Stationary, having had but little extension of its buildings for a great period of years, and giving no prospect of future extension either immediate or remote. The main part of the town consists of a Single Street about 3.0 chains long Stretching from Northwest to Southeast. About 20 chains from the Northwest end of the Street (which is called High St, it attains its greatest width and begins to be divided into two thoroughfares by a line of buildings running along the middle of it for five chains - The park water of Thirlstane bounds the town on the northeast Side.
