| LAUDER PARISH | Lauder (parish) | Continued | 005 | [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.
