| AUCHENMAEN BURN | Auchanmaen Burn Auchanmaen Burn Auchen-main |
Revd. [Reverend] R Simpson John Anderson Alexander Brown Popular pronunciation |
002 | [Situation] On the Moorland at N. [North] En. [Eastern] Parish district. ___ A small Burn having its source on the N. [North] W. [West] side of Spango Bank and running in a Southerly direction falls into Spango Water about 1 [one] mile from its mouth. The name signifies the field of the stone. [written by a different hand] Auchan, usually written in the District, Auchen [underlined], belongs to the Gaelic Maen, which signifies a blcok of Stone belongs to the British Speech. Putting such two words together for the name of a small burn on the moor, seems at variance. The name must be from Auchen and Moir [underlined], which implies a Moss, or wet, and moist land of which the name on the ground is descriptive. It seems that Auchmain [underlined], i.e. ["id est" - that is] the wet, or mossy field is the correct Mode. being thus verified on the ground. Charles I Fearnside Pte. [Private] R. S. & Nis.
