Boreland

Boreland is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, which is located in Dryfesdale about 7 miles (11 kilometres) north of Lockerbie on the B723 road to Eskdalemuir.

Next to the Dryfe are the remains of Gillesbie Tower[1] which was home to one of the Border Reiver clans, the Grahams.

[2] The area surrounding Boreland has many other significant historical remains, with some dating back to the Iron Age.

It was built in 1710 and has an extensive graveyard, with some remaining gravestones dating back to the 1700's.

[9] The name Boreland is taken from the Old Scots or Old Norse "bordland" meaning "table-land" or "land which directly supplies the laird’s table".
