Lauder
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 border of the Lammermuir Hills. The present population of the town is around 1500, although it is swiftly growing as over 100 brand-new homes are being developed on the southern side. This means that, at the start of the 21st century, the population is approaching what it was at the beginning of the 20th century in advance of the period of depopulation over the last 100 years. Lauder is today strongly affected by its proximity to Edinburgh as it is now judged to be close enough for employees to commute into the capital for work. The bus service to Edinburgh is dependable though infrequent. Prominent buildings in the town today include the Tolbooth or Town Hall, which precedes 1598 when records display it being burnt by a party of Homes and Cranstouns led by Lord Home, in a dispute between them and the Lauder family who were at the time sitting on the bench as hereditary baillies. On 18 July 1793, amid a severe and lengthy thunderstorm, a 'ball of fire struck the steeple above the Tollbooth, and did considerable damage'. Existing debate in Lauder is the town's development, whether it is required or worthwhile, the location of a new primary school and how soon one will be developed, and the area and extent of wind farms on the surrounding hills. Additionally on the agenda is the argument surrounding the creation of a brand-new health centre in the burgh.
