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]
