The Lammermuir Hills separate the northern part of the Borders and East Lothian with its highest peak being Lammer Law at 528 metres. The Southern Upland Way passes through Lauder and along the foothills of the Lammermuirs past the villages of Longformacus and Abbey St. Bathans to Cockburnspath on the east coast. These hills were the setting for Sir Walter Scott's Bride of Lammermoor.
Lauder, on the A68, is a focal point for different sections of the Southern Upland Way and other walks. Thirlestane Castle on the outskirts of Lauder was built by the Maitland family in the 16th century and extended since then. A tour of the castle shows life in bygone years and conditions for those thrown into the dungeon. The Thirlestane Castle Scottish Championship Horse Trials take place in August. The Flat Cat Gallery in Lauder exhibits local arts and crafts and its tearoom offers delicious home baking. There are several hotels and pubs in Lauder providing good food.
