- ↑ Newspaper notice of farm to let [in 1793]:
Perhaps this is when the Runciman family took over the farm that was to remain in the family until 1989? They were certainly there by 1804 when son David was born.
The notice reads: "Farm in Berwickshire to let
To be LET, and entered to at Martinmas next as One Farm, THE FARMS OF WANTONWALLS & ELSINEUR, situated in the parish of Lauder, and within half a mile of the burgh town of Lauder. It is the intention of the proprietor immediately to make considerable improvements upon the above farms, the particulars of which may be seen by applying to the wish of the tenant in building, inclosing, &c. Written offers for the above to be made to Baillie Edmonstone, Mr Sawers in Dunbar, or Mr Bowmaker, No. 25, Leicester Square, London. N.B. Other farms of large extent, on the same estate, may be looked at, and will be let in the course of the ensuing year."
The current Runciman family were surprised to read the Elsineur part of the ad, but upon reflection, did identify a field in Wantonwalls that was called Elshinor
- ↑ In 1797 David had 6 work horses, taxed at 2/- each
