"The opinion of the Rev. [Reverend] W. Dill, is
probably correct. Cammuck appears
to be derived from two Gaelic Words.
cam (crooked). mucach (dirty), agreeing
with the description we have of this stream.
The describer does not speak of its
crookedness; this, however, may be inferred, from its "slow and level" course (and seen on plan)
Muck is frequently found
Mock unusual
