I’ve a map from 1780 of Boreland of Borgue I’m ok to share with you.
Dear Willie,
I would be most interested to share your map of 1780, as my family lived in Borgue around this time. They were James Thomson and his son Robert and grandson David Thomson of Ingleston, if you have any information about them, I would be most eternally grateful as I have been tracing my family roots for some 15 plus years. Please do pass this email on to anyone you think would be interested.
Many thanks,
Kind regards,
Julie Collins (nee Thomson)

I was browsing Wikipedia, and found an article on Hugh Blair of Borgue. Where can I find more information on him, and are his stone dykes are still there?
Thanks for your enquiry. I’ll ask around our local historians to see if I can find any more information about Hugh Blair.
Hello, my dad attended Borgue Primary from around 1943 to 1948 and wondered if there are any school photos he may be in. The ones on your site are not dated.
Dad was born in Kirkandrews and still recalls some local people.
He’d be very interested to see any photographs from around the early 1940’s.
Family were David, Constance, James (my dad) and Cathy Waugh.
Look forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards
Jane
