In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Blairburn like this:
Blairburn, a village in Culross parish, Perthshire, adjacent to the river Forth, in the vicinity of Culross town. Blair Castle, a handsome modern mansion (Mrs Gallwey), 1¼ mile W of Culross, occupies the site of a mansion said to have been built about the time of the Reformation by Archbishop Hamilton of St Andrews.
