[Parish] of Tundergarth, where it is named Milk Waterhead It runs in a Westerly direction intersects the Caledonian Railway, And glides gently along Castle-milk, (one of the most delightful, And romantic mansions that can well be conceived) And after a Course of about 14, or 15 miles from E. [East] to West, forms a Confluence with the River Annan a little above Hoddam Castle. Milk is a mutation from Mela, Melè which signifies honey It would seem that Honey Water is the translation of the original name. The laborers, farmers, &c in its vicinity call it 'Water of Milk' and Milk Water the former oftener than the latter. |
