Balmblae
Balmblae is an area to the north of Falkland, beyond the Balmblae Burn which formed the northern boundary of the Royal Burgh of Falkland.
Historically Balmblae (sometimes spelt Balinblae) was a separate barony (feudal estate). In 1858 Margaret Tyndall Bruce purchased Balmblae, which thus became part of the Falkland Estate, although it was never part of the Royal Burgh.[1]
See map: Map D (6).
