The burn of Loinheirie is entirely supplied by it; its size accordingly, is nearly the same at its source, as when, after its course through its little glen, it joins the Don." Extract from Statistical Account. An excellent and copious spring of water, issuing from the foot of a hill called Cairn Mead Lonach. The quantity of water issuing from this spring is said to be the largest in Scotland.
