Object
Clennoch Burn - A Stream
Ford of Munsack - A hollow
Note, Since I wrote this
name, I was informed by
Mr Dickson (of Moor) that
it arose from the Smugglers
who travelled the Roman Road
in their day, It being Customery for
them to feed their horses here, Consequently arose
the word 'Wee Munsack.' That is take them
off until wee rest, and feed, & and from which Ford of Munsack.
