Are you sure that the Stream running out of Loch Gelly, is from its Source to its influx with the Water of Ore called The Den Burn. I am of the opinion that it is called Gelly Burn, and that the Streamlet branching from it at the Carden Den and having its influx with the Ore nearly at the same place is only Called The Den Burn. What you call the Den Burn is identified upon Plan 31D as the "Gelly Burn" and is well authenticated in Name Book. D.H. To Mr Bray, C. Asst. [Civilian Assistant] "Yes, I have the name from the most intelligent in this locality. But at the same time they told me that portions of it went under the names of Powguild and Shawsmill, but it was nonsense to give it more than one name. Consequently they would recommend one name, and the most popular is The Den Burn." "I am sure this is called Gelly Burn for I have been told So by persons living on its margin for 40 years." "I was aware of this therefore I made particular enquiry So if possible to agree, I have been living in this locality and had a better opportunity to make myself better acquainted with the name, and I could only get one indifferent authority to call it Gelly Burn".
