006 A small stream having its source on
a small hill ¼ mile from whence it joins
the Fingland and Loch Burns.
Apparently this should be written Bog, although the old estate
map gives "Boigs", but many inaccuracies occur therein.
The stream runs through an old farm which was called
The Bog, there is also a hill close at hand
(& on the same old farm), which is now called Boghill.
Local pronounciation is Bog, with the vowel sounded
very long.
