A stream formed by the junction of a few Sheep drains which unites with another stream and flows through Crichope Linn And falls into Cample water
The Name is evidently compounded of Scotch Creech and Hope - that is the glen with declivities encumbered with large stones, - which is descriptive in several parts of the Stream's course and remarkably so in that of the gorge of Crichope Linn, which see. Crichope a corruption, is the mode of spelling now generally adopted
