'''Laird of Burnbrae''' was a [[hereditary title]] in [[Scotland]] that was held by several generations in the Primrose family. It is unclear what portions of land the [[Laird]]s of Burnbrae held; however, the Rampant Scotland website [http://www.rampantscotland.com/placenames/placename_baltimore.htm] defines the [[Burnbrae]] area as: [[Dumfries & Galloway]], [[Fife]], [[Perth & Kinross]], [[South Ayrshire]], [[South Lanarkshire]], [[West Dunbartonshire]], and [[West Lothian]].

'''Laird of Burnbrae''' was a [[hereditary title]] in [[Scotland]] that was held by several generations in the [[Clan Primrose|Primrose family]]. The Lands of Burnbrae was situated near [[Kincardine, Fife|Kincardine]],<ref>"Culross and Tulliallan" by David Beveridge and John James Dalgleish</ref> and has since been joined with Kincardine.
The Lairds of Burnbrae resided in [[Tulliallan]], [[Perthshire]], Scotland although in some early sources [[Tulliallan]] is cited as part of [[Fifeshire]].

The book, Culross and Tulliallan, states that the Lands of Burnbrae were previously held by the Blaw family until it was passed on to the Primrose family when Margaret Blaw married Archibald Primrose, who then became the first proprietor of that name to hold the lands of Burnbrae. The Primrose family held the title to the Lands of Burnbrae for over two hundred years until it became incorporated with the Tulliallan estate.

The Primrose family held the title to the Lands of Burnbrae for over two hundred years until it became incorporated with the Tulliallan estate.

The Lairds of Burnbrae resided in Tulliallan, formerly in[2] Perthshire, Scotland although in some early sources[citation needed] Tulliallan is cited as part of Fife, where it currently lies.
