About Borness
Borness is a 1,550-acre farm located on the coast of Borgue Parish in Kirkcudbrightshire, Dumfries and Galloway. This area features several cottages indicative of a traditional 'fermtoun' community, where families lived and worked alongside the farm's agricultural operations. Historically, the 1881 Census recorded a farmhouse, multiple cottages housing families, and a workforce of 14 men, 6 women, and 2 boys, all contributing to the farm's activities. With stunning views overlooking Wigtown Bay and the Solway Firth, Borness is a notable location for planning applications related to rural development and agricultural use.
