During Hertford's 1544 raid, English forces briefly established outposts in the Scottish Borders as a demonstration of territorial control. Lauder, on the main road from England to Edinburgh, was a key position. The inability to maintain such garrisons without a large army in the field demonstrated the fundamental strategic problem of the Rough Wooing — England could devastate Scotland but not occupy and hold it.
The size of the opposing forces is not recorded in the surviving sources.

Every location is different. Not every section appears for every place, only what the historical record actually holds turns up in a report.
Aubrey generates in-depth historical research for any location in the UK — drawing on Domesday records, scheduled monuments, Victorian OS maps, geological data and archaeological archives to tell the full story of a place.
