| LAUDERDALE DISTRICT | Lauderdale (District) | Fullerton's Gazeteer New Statistical Account of Berwickshire Map of the County |
005 | An ancient district in Berwickshire, the western one of the three into which the county was divided. In geographical distribution, and agricultural properties, Berwickshire is all strictly divisible into simply the Lammermoors and the Merse; the upper, & the lower parts of Lauderdale, belonging respectively to these, just as distinctly as any other part of the County. The limits of Lauderdale, so far as the usage of calling it a distinct district cannot be defined, & must probably be understood as including simply the basin of the Leader & its tributaries, So far as the Basin is in Berwickshire. Even anciently, the limits appear to have been very different, in Successive periods, and to have marked fluctuations both in the Kind and the extent of the Civil jurisdiction within them.
