Old Photographs Roberton Scotland
Old photograph of cottages in Roberton village located five miles from Hawick, Scotland. Tour Scottish Borders. The surname Roberton is of territorial origin, coming from the ancient manor of the same name, now in the parish of Roberton in Lanarkshire. A charter, granted at Lesmahago by Hugh, son of Robert, son Waldeve de Bigar, was witnessed by Robert of Robertstun in 1228. In 1296, Steven de Roberton of the county of Lanark render homage to England’s King Edward I, and, sometime between 1304 and 1305, Master Stephen de Rodberdeston, or Roberdestone, was clerk to Sir James Dalilegh. John of Monfode was given the lands of Robertstoun in Lanarkshire by King Robert I at sometime before 1329. In 1408, Stephen de Roberton was granted letters of safe conduct to travel from Henry IV of England. In Glasgow, in 1440, John de Robertoun was presbyter, and, in 1487, the lands of Modervile, now Motherwell, were owned by John of Robertone of that Ilk.
