The Royal Burgh of Lauder is a town in the Scottish Borders in the historic 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 current population of the town is around 1500, although it is dramatically broadening as over 100 new homes are being created 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 before the period of depopulation over the last 100 years. Lauder is today firmly directed by its proximity to Edinburgh as it is now thought to be close enough for people to commute into the capital for work. The bus service to Edinburgh is efficient but sporadic. Prominent structures in the town today include the Tolbooth or Town Hall, which precedes 1598 when records reveal it being burnt by a party of Homes and Cranstouns led by Lord Home, in a dispute in between them and the Lauder family who were at the time sitting on the bench as hereditary baillies. On 18 July 1793, during an extreme and lengthy thunderstorm, a ‘ball of fire struck the steeple above the Tollbooth, and did considerable damage’. Present controversy in Lauder is the town’s development, whether it is wanted or preferable, the location of a brand-new primary school and how soon one will be developed, and the area and extent of wind farms on the surrounding hills. Also on the agenda is the controversy surrounding the creation of a new health centre in the burgh.
