Old Lauder Castle was a 10th century castle located in Lauder, Scottish Borders, Scotland.
History
Hugh de Morville was appointed to the office of Constable of Scotland in 1138, as well gifted the Lordship of the Regality of Lauderdale, with the castle at Lauder, amongst other land and title grants, by King David I of Scotland.[1]
His son Richard de Morville held the castle against King Henry II of England during the revolt of 1173–1174.[2]
The castle may have been in a ruinous state during the First War of Scottish Independence as King Edward I of England, built a fort at Lauder, in the late 13th century.
