| EUCHAN WATER | Euchan Water, | The Revd. Dr [Reverend Doctor] Simpson. History of Scotland. Buchanan History of Sanquhar. |
6; 12; 13 | A considerable stream having its Source at Euchan Head near the base of Black Larg, on the confines of Ayrshire, This water, with the exception of a Short distance in the lower part of its Course, flows through a purely moorland district which terminates on both sides in lofty mountain ridges.- The expression "torturing rocks", which Dr. [Doctor] Simpson uses in his description of the Crawick, would apply with yet greater strictness to the rugged bed of the Euchan, which, without exaggeration, may be said to consist of one unbroken chain of whinstone blocks, - now standing out at intervals in bold relief or grouped in closer neighbourhood they stem the rapid current;- now worn to glossy smoothness - the work of ages, the River's swifter flow soon meets another check or finds a lower bed beneath some tiny cascade. Thus repeating itself with bolder features as it descends, the Euchan discharges its waters into the Nith at a point nearly opposite the Castle of Sanquhar. |
