The 1891 enumerator notes that Balnald of Borenich is "in ruins", and he must be refering to the original Balnald of Borenich which consisted of two dwellings, up the hill, to the north of this farm. Over the years the name of the farm has changed a number of times: Croftcarnach, Borenich Farm, Balnald of Borenich and now, simply Borenich
