See Image The path is perhaps called Dog's Loan; Dog's Loan Pumping Station is at its southern end. Hunter's Burn rises at a well which is located at the south-western side of the base of Dumbowie Hill (Image); although diverted beneath nearby areas of housing, the burn reappears above ground near this point, and follows the side of this footpath; at the end of the path, the burn flows underneath a railway underpass (Image) before emerging onto the beach (Image). The OS Object Name Book (1890s), giving authority for the name's appearance on the map, describes the burn as "a small stream on the High Mains of Dumbuck. The name is not generally known, but the proprietor wishes it to be adopted. The name has its origins not from a person's name but [from] the sportsmen or Hunters". On High Mains of Dumbuck, see Image and Image
