Lauder baronets

Last updated May 18, 2024

There has been one baronetcy granted to the Lauder family. The baronetcy of Lauder of Fountainhall, Haddingtonshire, was created for John Lauder, last surviving male representative of the Lauders of that Ilk, a rich merchant-burgess and sometime Treasurer and baillie of the City of Edinburgh Council, and an armiger. He purchased (before 1672) the estate of Newington, Edinburgh, and subsequently (10 June 1681) the lands of Woodhead and Templehall near Pencaitland, which along with others in Edinburghshire and Haddingtonshire, were erected by Crown charter into the feudal barony of Fountainhall on 13 August 1681.

John Lauder was created a baronet in the Baronetage of Nova Scotia on 17 July 1688.^[1]^[2] The first Letters Patent was successfully contested by his eldest surviving son, Lord Fountainhall, and "reduced",^[3] and a second Patent with a new destination issued, dated 25 January 1690; the first Patent was formally annulled in 1692.^[4]
