027 This Burn has two sources or takes its name from a point where two Burns join it - at "Alnwick Bridge". It flows through the famous "Campsie or "Kirkton Glen" and has several waterfalls or Linns bearing names. In passing through the Glen ("Campsie or Kirkton") it is, like that Glen, commonly called the Clachan or Kirkton Burn, but the old and proper name which appears on several Estate Maps is "Kirk Burn". The "Campsie or Kirkton Glen" extends up this Burn as far as Alnwick Bridge that is a Glen is formed on both sides by the hills on either side falling to the Burn; but the extent to which the name "Campsie or Kirkton Glen", which is much visited, belongs, as generally understood, is between the "Clachan of Campsie" and the head of the wooded side of the Glen at "Darling Linn."
