Family
The eldest son of Alan de Lawedre of The Bass, Whitslaid, and Haltoun by his spouse Alicia, daughter of Sir Colin Campbell of Lochow, Argyll, progenitor of the Earls of Argyll. Alan de Lauder was dead by 20 March 1407 when Robert is recorded as "executor testamenti quondam Alani de Lawedre patris sui nuper defuncti".
As the eldest son of the feudal baron of The Bass he was placed in fee by his father in the lands and castle of Edrington, Berwickshire, and because of his father's longevity he continued to be referred to as "of Edrington", even after he was also placed in fee of The Bass, and eventually succeeded his father.
