Before the weir was built in order to divert water to the canal feeder [just off to right of photo] and thence the Forth & Clyde Canal this burn flowed unimpeded round this meander and onward to meet Kelvin Water. On the upper reaches of this burn the O.S. have seen fit to name it the Banton Burn. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1623000
