J>AM'S BUR A?. 



Mr Dall. The distillery is 

 now called Glen Ochil. 



Dam's Burn is so called because 

 of a noisy burn, which leaps from 

 rock to rock down the hills, to join 

 the Devon, which runs through the 

 valley below. On its way, the burn 

 used to be dammed up, so as to 

 drive a mill while on its way (~' 

 to the river. Mr. Dick occu- / 

 pied the best house in the place, 

 the slated house, with its gable end towards the street, 

 as shown in the annexed engraving. The slopes of the 

 Ochil hills, the Abbey Craig, on which the Wallace 

 Monument now stands, and the Campsie Fells, beyond 

 Stirling, are seen in the distance. 



While at Dam's Burn, Eobert Dick went to the parish 

 school at Menstrie, a village about half a mile westward. 



DAM'S B0KN.
