Ettrick and Lauderdale (''Eadaraig agus Srath Labhdair'' in Scottish Gaelic) was one of four local government districts in the Borders region of Scotland from 1975 to 1996. The district was formed by the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 from: *The entire county of Selkirkshire *Part of Berwickshire (the burgh of Lauder and most of the West district of the county) *Part of Midlothian (Heriot and Stow) *Part of Roxburghshire (the burgh of Melrose and most of Melrose district).
