Boreland
Boreland is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, which is located in Eskdale about 7 miles (11 kilometres) north of Lockerbie on the B723 road to Eskdalemuir. The village has a small primary school.[1]
There is another small village called Boreland in Perthshire,[2] one near Dysart in Fife[3] and numerous hamlets and farms throughout Scotland, largely in the Central Belt and the south, with a particular prevalence in Dumfries and Galloway. The term is from the Scots "bordland" meaning "table-land" or "land which directly supplies the laird’s table".[3]
