Sprouston history

---

Sprouston was given as part of the dowry of Margaret de Scotland, illegitimate daughter of William the Lion and passed to her son William de Vesci. It was in the Lempitlaw family before being granted by Robert I of Scotland to William Francis, whose family held it until the 15th century when it passed to the Douglas family. The earliest mention of this parish in an authentic document is in the foundation charter of Selkirk of 1114 and it is also mentioned in the charter given to Kelso Abbey in 1128. The original parish belonged to the Duke of Roxburghe, whose seat is at Floors Castle.

Sprouston geography / climate

Two ridges of slight gradient run across from north-east to south-west in the parish, named Hadden Rig (height 541 ft), running through the centre and Lempitlaw. The first ridge, which has a commanding view over the Tweed, was the site of the Battle of Haddon Rig in 1542, a significant Scottish victory.
