Balmule, an estate, with a mansion, in Dunfermline parish, Fife. The mansion stands ½ mile W of Loch Fitty and 3 miles NNE of Dunfermline; belonged to Sir Henry Wardlaw, chamberlain to Queen Anne of Denmark; and is associated with the memory of Lady Elizabeth Wardlaw (née Halket, 1677-1727), whose name now figures largely in connection with the old ballad literature of Scotland.
