James Purvis, Whitebank Alexander Purvis, Whitebank Robert Robison, Springwells |
A small stream which takes its rise near Hume and falls into Lambden Burn near Messington. Its name originated thus:- The day on which the battle of Hardacres Hill was fought it rained heavily, causing some of the blood on the battle field to be washed into this stream, which runs close to the scene of the battle. For two days after this event particles of clotted blood were observed floating down the stream, and from that date it has been generally known as Lapric Syke, from the Scotch word "lapper" to congeal. |
