NS06SE 424 0798 6379.
This channel, partly artificial and partly a canalised natural water course, picks up the waters of two un-named burns at NS 0763 6455 and carries them, and one other, to the Kirk Dam reservoir at NS 0835 6370, 800m to the ESE. It formed part of the water cuts created by Robert Thom in the early 19th century to increase water power to the Rothesay Cotton Mill (NS06SE 5). There were five over bridges on the cut, two of which have been removed (Maclagan 1996, 4-6).
