The earliest recorded mention of Rattenraw is in C13. The settlement was described as a hamlet in 1368 in the vill of Haydon. The number of houses and people who lived are are not recorded until post-medieval times and it seems to been at its largest in the early C18. In 1736 there were ten houses here but it seems to have declined after this and in the mid C19 only one farmstead is shown on the first edition Ordnance Survey map. A few earthworks south of the farm may be traces of earlier buildings. (PastScape)
Rattenraw was in the Langley barony and is said to have contained a 'Cluster of old Bastles' at one time. (Dodds 1999)
