Situated on the main A68 road south from Edinburgh to the English Border, Lauder is virtually unique in having retained the layout of the ancient Scottish Royal Burgh, whilst being able to offer all the facilities of a modern small town. Close to the Lammermuir Hills, with a developing group of pathways, Lauder can offer something of interest to resident and visitor alike, indoors and out, in all weathers, be it Leisure Centre, Historic House, mediaeval ruins, golf, fishing, inns, and quality hotels and self-catering accommodation, all within 40 minutes of Edinburgh.
