014.06 | A well known name applying to anywhere about the south side of a tree near the head of the "Burn of Achlair", from a Ford which crossed the stream here on a line of Road which, in former times crossed the moors between Gartmore, in the adjoining Parish, and Balmaha, passing also close to the Fiddler's Cairn". (Trace 5. 14-2). There is a reddish rock stone in the Burn at the place. No name in the Moors of Buchanan is better known than "Red Ford". No traces of the old Road now exist, nor is any Right of Way pressed by the people of the locality. |
