Alison: I have a 'relative' who lives near Annandale Estates. You may already have this information, but: She writes: Annandale Estates is owned by the Earl of Annandale and Hartfell of Raehills, St Anns. The estate covers a large area N.E. of Dumfries around St Ann's on the A701. there is a farm Blackburn on the estate. Dumfries Archive Centre will hold records on the area so worth contacting them can be found under the Dumfries and Galloway website.
