The Crombie Burn drains a valley which clearly was eroded by a bigger river than occupies it today. This view is taken from the B961 in the south west corner of the grid box and looks north west up the valley. Out of view is Crombie Reservoir (NO5240) which was built in the 1860s to provide water for Dundee. At that time the Crombie Burn was dammed and the river reduced to its present small dimensions.
