Origin of
the surname “Brotherston:”
Scandinavian (probably Danish) origin. “Brother is a first name like James or
George, and Brotherstones, which is what the name
used to be, means the lands of Brother.
Sometime about 1000 A.D., a family group of Vikings came down from the
northern islands of Scotland where they fished and, after rampaging around,
settled on land about ten or twenty miles east of Edinburgh. This was called the Lands of Brothirstanys. The
land was later taken away from them by the King and given to an Abbey called
the “Hospital of Soutra.” They rendered homage to the King in 1296 and
became Scottish citizens. At one time
there was a small village south of Earlston where
George is buried called Brotherston.” (Leona Hitchcock, June 1986)
