Black Burn Reorienting to its Original Route
Black Burn Reorienting to its Original Route
The appropriately named Black Burn used to have a simple life, flowing unimpeded from near Harburnhead Hill to Camilty Water, which is about half a mile from here. These days though it has to make its way through six ponds - all created at some point since the early 1960s - on its route. Four of these, which I have yet to investigate, look like something that Salvador Dali might have drawn, from their shapes on the map.
The water straight ahead is running from the last and largest of these new ponds. It then turns at right angles to get back onto its original course.
