| LAUDER | Lauder | 019.08 | [Continued from page 151] In it are three churches, each belonging to a different denomination, two Schools, an Inn and three Public Houses. There are 150 burgesses in the burgh each of whom possesses a house and garden, from one to three acres of cultivated land, and a share of an extensive Moorland Common. The affairs of the burgh are managed by two Celtics and seven Councillors. Lauder is the only royal burgh in Berwickshire, and unites with Haddington, N. [North] Berwick, Dunbar, and Jedburgh, in sending a member to parliament. The burgh is believed to have been formed during the reign of William the Lion. The early charters having been lost amid the anarchy and violence of the Border wars, a charter of Novo damas was given by James IV in 1502, which was confirmed by act of parliament dated 28th June 1633. Lauder is the Seat of the presbytery of the bounds. The name Lauder is supposed to be derived from the Celtic word *"Laudur". "New Statistical account of Berwick Shire" and Fullertons Garden |
