There were two homesteads called "Balnald" in Strathtummel; one close to the Strathtummel Inn and the other just to the north of Borenich Farm. To overcome this problem, in the 1900s, the owners of the one near to the Strathtummel Inn changed their spelling to "Balnauld". This web-site uses these two spellings to distinguish between the two homesteads (e.g. with the census returns). However, in the Old Parish Records the same spelling is used for both. Consequently it is unclear as to which is meant, except when it is referred to as "Balnald of Borenich", which is the easterly one by Borenich farm. In addition there was another Balnald in Fincastle, but this was in the parish of Dull.
* We know that Blinald and Balnald are spellings of the same place as the will of John Stewart in Ballachastle and Grissell Forbes, his spouse (1762) states that their daughter Margaret was married to John Stewart in Balnauld, and that Margaret’s brother, John Stewart had died in July 1762.
