of them is about a mile north west of
the ruins of the old Castle of Cleish,
the other in a moss called the Crook-

rivulets unite at a farm named
Thratermuir or West March of Mawmill
and then run in an eastern direction by
Mawmill House, the lands of Cockairney,
Carsegour and Annafreich, Dowhill and
