Statement of special interest |
Former uses
An inn in 1828.[2]
Former residents
- David Duncan of Balreavie (his gravestone in Falkland graveyard .dated 1846)
- 1855 John Duncan
- 1885 John Fleming tenant
- 1920 John Ness owner occupier.
- 1940 David Anderson staying at Kilgowrieknowe
- 1960 Hugh Butter[3]
Other references
The name derives from the Gaelic words baile riabhach, meaning a " 'Striped or variegated estate' This is almost certainly the etymology of this farm-name on the main road from Falkland to Markinch (A912), but is it an indigenous place-name? Its unusually late appearance (for a Bal-name), and its status as an inn in 1828 suggest that it is not, but rather that it was a transferred name, perhaps from Balreavie, Longmorn by Elgin [Moray]."[2]
