The Royal Burgh of Lauder is a town in the Scottish Borders in the historical county of Berwickshire. On the Southern Upland Way, the burgh lies 27 miles south east from Edinburgh, on the western edge of the Lammermuir Hills. The present population of the town is around 1500, although it is rapidly expanding as over 100 new houses are being built on the southern boundary. This means that, at the start of the 21st century, the population is approaching what it was at the start of the 20th century in advance of the period of depopulation over the last 100 years. Lauder is today firmly directed by its distance to Edinburgh as it is now thought to be close enough for employees to commute into the capital for work. The bus service to Edinburgh is trustworthy but infrequent. Popular buildings in the town today include the Tolbooth or Town Hall, which precedes 1598 when records show it being burnt by a celebration of Homes and Cranstouns led by Lord Home, in a feud between them and the Lauder family who were at the time sitting on the bench as hereditary baillies. On 18 July 1793, during a severe and lengthy thunderstorm, a ‘ball of fire struck the steeple above the Tollbooth, and did considerable damage’. Current dispute in Lauder is the town’s expansion, whether it is needed or preferable, the site of a new primary school and how quickly one will be developed, and the area and extent of wind farms on the surrounding hills. Additionally on the agenda is the controversy surrounding the creation of a new health centre in the burgh.
