It cannot be doubted that the town of Lauder gave its name to the parish, and that the town derived its name from that of the river, near to which it is situated. This is, indeed, now, and has long been Called Leader Water, but since it is termed Lauder by Camden in his Britannia, and the vale through which it flows has, from time immemorial been termed Lauderdale, its more ancient and probably, its original name was Lauder. The etymology of Lauder or Leader, is traced by certain antiquarians to "Lauder", a Celtic word, denoting the lesser river, or the river which breaks forth. And, accordingly, the Leader, though it be a comparatively small stream, Swelled, as it occasionally is, by torrents from the neighbourhood hills, rises rapidly, bursting its banks & floods its fertile haughs.

[Continued from page 1] The parish consists of a large main body, and a small detached section, in the district of Lauderdale, Berwickshire. The detached Section is nearly a Square, 1 1/2 mile deep, lies 1 1/4 south of the nearest point of the main body, & is bounded on the East by Legerwood, and Earlston; partly on the south by the latter parish; and on all other sides by Melrose in Roxburghshire. The main body is nearly a parallelogram, Stretching from N.E [North East] to South West - with an isosceles triangle attached to it on the North West;- the parallelogram measuring 9 3/4 miles, by 4 1/2, and the triangle 3 3/4 on its Short Side, & 5 3/4 on each of its equal Sides; and is bounded on the N.E [North East] by Haddingtonshire, Longformacus, and a detached portion of the parish of Cranshaw - on the S.E [South East] by the parishes of Westruther & Legerwood; on the South & South West by Melrose in Roxburghshire; and on the west by Stow in Mid Lothian, & by Channelkirk. The area or the whole parish is about 58 square miles. [Continued on page 3] |

[Continued from page 2] Under the head of antiquities may be noticed a Roman road, the line of which has been distinctly traced through a considerable part of the parish, & is in various places still perceptible. It passes a little to the West of the town of Lauder, & proceeds towards the Manse of Channelkirk. Near this ancient road, on Lauder hill, are the remains of a military Station, & about 2 miles North from this, on an elevated Spot at Blackchester, are the vestiges of an oval Camp, having one entrance on the East, and another on the West, and fortified by two ditches and mounds of Earth. A camp of similar form & larger dimensions is traced on Tollishill or Tulliushill, in the Northern extremity of the parish. Spanish, Scottish & English Coins have been dug up, Some of which Dr. [Doctor] Ford, the former minister, had in his possession, as well as Several Roman Coins inscribed with the names of Julius Caesar, Lucius Flamininus, and others. Many Tumuli are to be seen on Lauder moor, neat the old road to Melrose, where battles had probably been fought, as fragments of Swords, bows and arrows have there been found, The arrows were pointed with flint Stone tapering from the juncture, about an inch long. In the vicinity of Lauder [Continued on page 4] |

[Continued from page 3] On the banks of the Leader, stands Thirlestane Castle, formerly Styled Lauder Fort. According to tradition it was originally built or erected by Edward I. during his invasion of Scotland; certain it is that it is built or rebuilt by Chancellor Maitland, and, Subsequently improved by the Duke of Lauderdale. It is a Spacious and massy edifice, having Some Stately apartments decorated in the best taste of the age of Charles II. and is surrounded by a park, which, being recently enlarged & beautified, is now much admired. The only town in the parish is Lauder, which is also a market-town. It has little of no trade, most of its inhabitants being Small retailers, mechanics, day-labourers, or agriculturalists. The police of the town is Chiefly under the superintendence of the magistrates, who appoint a Fiscal for the Burgh & occasionally hold bailie-courts for the determination of small debtcases, petty offences, &c. The market towns nearest to Lauder are, Kelso, distant 17 & Dalkeith, distant 19 miles -to the last of which the farmers Carry their Corn & pass the neighbourhood of which they bring home Lime and Coal.

[Continued from page 4] The parish church which formerly stood on the North of the town, fronting Thirlstane Castle, is now Situated close to the town on its S [South] West Side. Its distance is 8 miles from the Northern extremity of the parish, & 5 from the Southern extremity. It could not be more conveniently Situated, as upwards of half the population resides in the town, while few of the people, in the country have to travel to it more than 3 or 4 miles. It was built in the year 1673 & Since that period it has undergone frequent repairs, the last of which was in 1820 and though from its form, which is that of a cross, it is found to be Somewhat incommodious, especially during the Celebration in it of the Lord’s Supper - it is on the whole, substantial and tolerably well fitted up. It needs much to be heated, by means of Stoves, in winter. It Can Conveniently hold 850 persons. No free lettings in it are appropriated to the poor; but all of this description who are willing to attend may be and are gratuitously accommodated.
A handsome benefaction of 4 Silver Communion Cups, and of two massy silver plaques was granted to the church in 1677. by the noble family of Lauderdale. [Continued on page 6] |

[Continued from page 5] The present Manse was built in 1812 - of the glebe the extent is about Nine acres and the yearly value, now that it has been enclosed & much improved by the Incumbent, may be £18.0.0. The stipend as modified in 1816, is 17 chalders, one half of which is oatmeal, the other half Barley, payable by the highest fiars of the County. When it was afterwards localled, in Consequence of the surrender of their teinds by the burgesses of Lauder and others - it was fixed at £67.11.9 Sterling and 217 bolls, half meal & half barley, 3 bolls of oats, and 2 of bear. The Stipend of last year (1832) exclusive of £10.0.0 for Communion elements, was precisely £246.3.4 3/4. In the parish are four Schools, all in the town of Lauder; one parochial, and three unendowed.

LAUDERDALE DISTRICT |

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.

Lammermoor (District) |
New Statistical Account of Berwickshire

In ancient times the shire of Berwick seems to have a Separate jurisdiction from the Bailliary of Lauderdale, & to have been itself divided into the Merse and Lammermoor districts. It is not easy to say what had been the exact boundaries and extent of these three divisions now almost obsolete. For the purposes of agricultural inquiry, the whole County may be very Conveniently Considered under two districts - the Merse and Lammermoor: the former including all the comparatively low land along Tweed, Whiteadder, Blackadder & Eye; & the latter comprehending Lauderdale, along with the more eastern hilly Country peculiarly Called Lammermoor. According to the general divisions of the County just pointed out, the Merse designates the whole lower grounds from Tweed up the Cultivated Slopes of the lower range of the Lammermoor hills, including the western parishes of Newthorn & Mertoun forming the longest piece of Compact level grounds - diversified only by a few gentle undulations to be found in Scotland. The whole remainder of the County with the exception of the Liberton of Berwick is therefore to be considered as the Lammermoor & contained 185214 acres.

Lammermoor Hills, A broad range of moorish heights, Stretching eastwards from the Vale of Gala Water, in the S. [South] eastern extremity of Midlothian, to the German ocean, at the promontories of Fast Castle, Earnscleugh & St. Abbs Head, in the parish of Coldingham, Berwickshire. The Lammermoors all lie within East Lothian & Berwickshire, Commencing at their extreme western limit, forming, for two thirds of their extent, a Southern screen, or belt of uplands to Mid Lothian & constituting - if the Lammermoor part of Lauderdale be included - nearly half of Berwickshire. The Lammermoors are, in themselves, an extensive Curvature of, for the most part, wild, cheerless, unsightly heights - nowhere bold and imposing in aspect, and often Subsiding into low rolling table lands of bleak moor. They were at one time clothed with Forest, and must have been as bewildering to the traveller as grandly Sylvan, in their vast contribution to the Landscape. [Continued on page 11] |

Lammer Law, which rises in the Parish of Haddington, gives name to the whole range, has an altitude of 1,500 feet. Among other chief or remarkable summits, according to the measurements of Blackadder in his Survey of Berwickshire, Crib Law has an elevation of 1,615 feet; Clint Hill, 1544; Tippet Knowes, 1,323; Manslaughter, 1273; Turnlaw Hill, 1260; Earlston Hill 1200; Great Dirrington Law 1145; Ayrhouse Hill 1054; Bemerside Hill 1,010 and Cockburn Law 912 feet. |

" This Camp was placed on a rising ground, which overlooks several British Forts, in the surrounding country. Its figure is something between a Circle and an oval; and seems to have been thus formed to suit the [ground], whereon it was placed. It was secured by two fosses, and ramparts of earth, having one entrance, on the East and another on the West. The outer ditch is, even now, nearly 11 yards wide, and from 15 to 20 deep; the inner ditch is about 14 feet wide, and appears to have been 7 or 8 feet deep but is now much filled up"

New Statistical Account

This is the principal river in the parish. It has its Source in the junction of two rivulets descending from the hills of Lammermoor, about 4 miles above the town of Lauder. To the extent of 9 or 10 miles it winds its course through the parish, and about 9 miles from Lauder it joins the Tweed at Drygrange. It runs with considerable rapidity in a South easterly direction, affording good Sport to the angler. The localities on the banks of this river have been celebrated in in the old Scottish Song of "Leader haughs and Yarrow". Its more ancient, and probably, its original name was Lauder. Antiquarians trace its etymology to Lauder the lesser Stream or the river that breaks forth

Sir,
With reference to your recent
Letter (sent by me to Lord Lauderdale & not
returned to me) addressed to Mr
Hume, formerly, Factor to Lord
Lauderdale, regarding the proper
spelling of the word "Thirlestane",
I have to inform you that after con-
sulting with Lord Lauderdale,
and referring to old plans, I find
the correct spelling to be with a
letter "e" in the middle of the word,
If you can therefore be so good as alter
"Thirlstane Castle" to "Thirlestane Castle",
I am [continued on page 149a] |

This Spacious edifice which Stands on a beautiful lawn on the right bank of the Leader and between that river and the town of Lauder, is the Country Family Residence of the Earl of Lauderdale. Its nucleus was a strong tower, called Lauder Fort and was built by Edward I during his invasion of Scotland, as a means of maintaining his usurped power. In 1672 a new front and wings were added and decorated, with massive balustrades and cornices, in the best taste of the age of Charles II. It is Surrounded by an extensive ParK. containing very fine old trees and in consequence of the great improvements which it has recently undergone is much admired.

Plan of the burgh of Lauder
Mr Broomfield Lauder
Mr Valance Lauder |
019.08 |
The royal burgh of Lauder. 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. It is very plain and irregular in its houses, desolate in the aspect of its Streets and cold and Stagnant in the Seeming animus of its people's occupations.

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".

Dear Moderator
Please can you check p151, 153, 154, 155 and 157 as I am relatively new to transcription.
I am also unsure what your instruction to transcribe [Page] xxx refers to? Please advise. Thank you.
Dear Marchbank 70
I have checked your pages and made the necessary correction/additions. Have a close look to see where I've made the changes.
[Page] xx - the page number is in the corner. We add [Page] in square brackets because we are adding our interpretation. You can see from your pages how its done.
As previously mentioned you need to look in the FAQs for the surveyors name and rank etc. you should not need to leave it as ... We have given all the help we can on these to assist you.
Your main reading of the text is good, its just getting to grips with our formatting that you need to watch out for.
Don't add punctuation to the authorities if its not on the original
Watch out for capital letters all through the desc sentences, they weren't as good at using capitals only at the beginning of the sentence as we are.
Also be careful in the headers where is has Ph - you need to show that and the expansion - not just expand it. Ph [Parish]
If you would like to try out another couple of pages and ask for them to be checked on the forum one of the mods will pick it up.
Regards
