The surname of Lauder, anciently de Lavedre, is of Norman origin, and the Scottish historians mention the first de Lavedre as one of those Anglo-Norman barons who accompanied Malcolm Canmore into Scotland in 1056 to assist that prince in recovering his kingdom from the usurper Macbeth. For this important service Sir Roburtus de Lavedre obtained from the king grants of lands which included part of Macbeth’s own estates in Moray, which remained in direct ownership of the Lauder family until passing by marriage-dowry to the Chisholms in 1335. The principal part of the mighty Bass rock or island were also granted to this de Lavedre, this family being the earliest recorded owners, (the retained ecclesiastical portion being also granted to them in 1316). Lands in Berwickshire were also given to which Sir Robert gave his own surname, as other knights similarly recompensed did, in obedience, according to Boethius, of a direct royal command to that effect. De Lavedre was also invested with the hereditary bailieship of Lauderdale, which remained in that family for over seven centuries.
