017 | Is formed by the union of Alltie Vachlan with another Small Stream from Loch Olgney. It pursues a North westerly course past the old mill from which it derives the name, and falls into Brawlbin Burn near to Loch Calder. |
| ALLT A' BHACHLAIN | Allt a' Vachlan | Donald Sutherland Brawlbin William Sinclair Brawlbin A. Sinclair Brawlbin |
017 | A small Stream rising on the South East side of Torr a' Gobhainn, and flows north eastward, to a confluence with Allt a' Mhuilinn. The meaning of the name is not known, but I think, from its connection with the old still (Tigh na Poite) that it is a corruption of - Allt a' Bhach Ghlaine - Signifying Stream of the Glass of drunkenness. |
