Queensberry Estate Rentals: List of Farms

The Queensberry Estate was the name given to the estates administered from Drumlanrig Castle in Dumfriesshire. It included farms in a number of different parts of Dumfriesshire, most prominently the Barony of Drumlanrig (the area around the castle) and the Barony of Sanquhar (essentially the parishes of Sanquhar and Kirkconnell). This is a list of the farms included within the 1794-1795 rental and is indicative of what is likely to be within other rental documents.
