Laird of Burnbrae
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laird of Burnbrae was a title held by several generations in the Primrose family. A Laird refers to a Lord in Scotland, who were men with power and authority and normally claimed dominion over the portion of land referred to in their title. It is unclear at this time what portions of land the Lairds of Burnbrae held; however, the Rampant Scotland website[1] defines the Burnbrae area as: Dumfries & Galloway, Fife, Perth & Kinross, South Ayrshire, South Lanarkshire, West Dunbartonshire and West Lothian.
The Lairds of Burnbrae resided in Tulliallan, Perthshire, Scotland although in some early sources Tulliallan is cited as part of Fifeshire.
