Blacks County Map authority for the name Dalmakeddar
033; 034 A stream which rises on the farm of Fingland, bears the name of Back Burn until it reaches the farm of Dalmakeddar this is where it enters Applegarth Parish, after which it is known as Dalmakeddar Burn until it reaches the Annan.
Hence it is that the stream has two distinct names given to it, in the district which clearly shews that it has not a correct local name , but that Dalmakeddar Burn might be applied as far as it is conterminuous with it. i.e the Parish Boundaries/Back Burn is trifling for so small a stream forming a continuation of a district local name.
