014.09 | A good stream which rises from the eastern section of "Beinn Bhreachd" (mottled mountain) at the Parish Boundary. It flows to the Endrick near its junction with which it is perfectly straight flowing between handsome artificial embankments. The form of using "Burn" to this name is a peculiarity of the locality which custom renders proper. There is also the "Burn of Achlais". |
