The Loch Coulter Burn comes through the bridge where it is met by a weir (on the left), the channel flowing towards the photographer in the foreground here is artificial, it is a lade which takes most of the burn's flow and diverts it to Howietoun Fishery (owned by Stirling University Aquaculture Dept.), after Howietoun takes its requirements what is left empties into the Sauchie Burn a few hundred metres downstream and thereafter to the Bannock Burn. What volume is left below the weir is named the Auchenbowie Burn and follows its natural course to the Carron at Denny where it is known as the Avon Burn.
