This wee burn originates from more than one source in the areas of Baillieston and Garrowhill and falls into the North Calder Water at Channel Banks near Calderpark. Once a free flowing natural burn as can be witnessed by the gully it has cut out over the eons. Since the 1950s most of the water that came into it was diverted into the urban drainage system and it is now only a real burn in times of consistent rain , however this may change as a suds pond has been constructed nearby to facilitate run-off from new housing developments.
