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]
