The Oliver surname came into the Borders area of Scotland in the middle of the 13th century. Their most famous exploit was a raid into Otter burn, in 1583, to recover stolen cattle in which over 200 horsemen took part. Following the pacification of the Borders area in 1603, they settled down to farming and more peaceful activities, except during the Covenanting troubles.
