Cairns (possible), Cairn Burn (Sites)
The name of this stream is said to have been derived from two large cairns which it passed in its course, but the cairns had already been destroyed by the mid-19th century and their sites ploughed over (Name Book No. 44, p.40). Their precise locations are not known.
