Parish of Culross -- Sheet 140 - 16 Trace 2
The name "Oneford" appears rather unmeaning as applied to a burn or
Stream so small as this is, of which almost all parts of it are fordable. Enquiry
has been made with a view to ascertain its origin, but with no satisfactory conclusion.
However the pronunciation of it by the country people is One-ford or rather Wan-ford
and perhaps the latter would be the better spelling as "Wan", in the Scotch dialect
Signifies Black, Gloomy, dirty, &c.
