The

Balfours

 in 

Orkney

A collection of genealogical data on the Balfour family, tracing its  origins from 11th century Fife but dealing primarily with the Orcadian branches, including the senior line, whose antecedents settled in Westray in Orkney in the 16th century.

Although the surname is extinct in Westray, there are still branches of the family on the Orkney mainland stemming from William Sinclair Balfour who removed from Berriedale in Westray to the farm of Breck in Rendall in the late 1800s.
