OS1/5/29/2 LAUDERDALE (District) Lauderdale (District) Fullerton's Gazetteer New Statistical Account of Berwickshire Map of the County 025 ; 026 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 Lammermoor, and the Merse; the upper and the lowest 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, and must probably be understood as including simply the basin of the Leader and 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 jurisdictions within them.
