Estate Map 1844 A Hervey W. Gilchrist W. G. Galloway |
046 | A Deep Ravine or Gorge extending in a northerly direction from its head of Dunaskin Glen along on both Sides of Burnhead Burn, Some places its Sides are grassy Sloping gradually but Steep, other places its Sides are nearly 80 feet of a perpendicular height with large Shapeless rocks projecting and overhanging of a volcanic nature. The deepest part of it is the narrowest Scarcely admitting the Stream at the bottom to flow through and on which at this place there is a grand waterfall of about 20 feet, here indeed the Corbies might Safely build without the fear of being molested by any human being. North and South of this narrowest part it becomes less Conspicuous Rocky and Cliffy. Though the whole of the Ravine is now called Corbie Craigs I should think that the name was only applicable to the place where the Corbies built their nests in old times. The property of Hone.
