Tradition says the Burn derived its name from Dugald Forbes a Highway Man or cateran. who used the close woods of the upper district of the stream as a hiding place, and that his Father induced him to meet him at Forbes Church, where he was stabbed to death by the Father. Dugald is interred in the Church yard of Forbes near the North Eeast Angle of the Church, where two square stones stand to mark the spot. Dugald in Gaelic sounds nearly "Doo' hill`Dô-el etc. "Caillevar, on the opposite side of of the river is about 1350 feet above the level of the Sea". (New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] P.
