| BIRK BURN | Birk Burn. | Robert Hudson Drumbuie William Armstrong Drumbuie James Pearson Barr Moor |
006 | A considerable stream having its Source on the high ground bounding the farm of Drumbuie on the south and flowing in a generally northern direction until it falls into Kello Water. The district through which the Birk Burn flows is bleak & uninteresting until it approaches the Kello where some good arable land is found on both its banks, - here somewhat steep and rugged and clothed with birch trees from which it is said the burn de- -rives its name, |
| THWARTER BURN | Thurter Burn, Thwarter Burn |

005; 006; 012; 013 | A small stream rising on the high ground forming the southern limit of Drumbuie farm and flowing in a northerly direction until it falls into Kello Water, The orthography of this name is gathered from its pronunciation I seems to be the Scotch word Thwarter or Thorter signifying that this Stream has a Zigzag or Crooked Course. - |

Transcriber's notes
BIRK BURN - two Authorities are assigned to Drumbuie using a bracket, I have transcribed as if 'ditto'.
- I am uncertain about the direction in the Situation column - I have transcribed as 'N. by E&c'.
LANG SIKE - there was originally an entry in the transcription table for this name, but it does not appear on the image. Page OS1/10/44/178 contains the entry but had no corresponding row in the transcription table. I therefore have deleted the row here and added one on OS1/10/44/178. Map references 006; 013 have been copied onto the new entry, and should be checked.
