Lauderdale
Lauderdale is a long narrow geographical district in the Scottish Borders, Scotland, being the valley of the Leader Water, (a tributary of the River Tweed), above which rivulet St. Cuthbert had a vision of St. Aidan's soul being conducted to heaven.〔Anderson, Alan O., MA., ''Scottish Annals from English Chroniclers AD500 - 1286, London, 1908, p.23n.〕 It is traversed from end to end by the A68 trunk road which terminates at Edinburgh.
==Roman Road==
Many ancient camps, and many ''tumuli'', are found in Lauderdale.〔Wilson's ''Gazetteer of Scotland'', Edinburgh, 1882〕 The Roman road into Scotland, Dere Street, which means 'the road into the country of the wild animals', crossed a ford at Newstead, near Melrose, where there had been a Roman fort and garrison, and entered Lauderdale. Dere Street is said to have been reconditioned by King Malcolm Canmore and probably used by him in his almost constant warfare against England. The Roman road has now been traced from the Tweed through Lauderdale to Soutra.〔Hardie, R. P., ''The Roads of Mediaeval Lauderdale'', Edinbugh & London, 1942, p.viii, xi, & xiv.〕
