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.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“The strongest bond of human sympathy, outside of the family relation, should be one uniting all working people, of all nations, and tongues, and kindreds.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“A poem is like a person. Though it has a family tree, it is important not because of its ancestors but because of its individuality. The poem, like any human being, is something more than its most complete analysis. Like any human being, it gives a sense of unified individuality which no summary of its qualities can reproduce; and at the same time a sense of variety which is beyond satisfactory final analysis.”
—Donald Stauffer (b. 1930)
“Parenting is not logical. If it were, we would never have to read a book, never need a family therapist, and never feel the urge to call a close friend late at night for support after a particularly trying bedtime scene. . . . We have moments of logic, but life is run by a much larger force. Life is filled with disagreement, opposition, illusion, irrational thinking, miracle, meaning, surprise, and wonder.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
