Boreland is a village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, which is located in Dryfesdale about 7 miles north of Lockerbie on the B723 road to Eskdalemuir. The village is bordered by the Dryfe Water to the north, whilst the Boreland Burn flows to the south of the village which is a tributary of the Dryfe Water. Next to the Dryfe are the remains of Gillesbie Tower which was home to one of the Border Reiver clans, the Grahams. This tower, dating back to the 15th century, was a stronghold of the Grahams of Gillesbie. The area surrounding Boreland has many other significant historical remains, with some dating back to the Iron Age.
