This hamlet is named simply as Bush on the modern maps, and on its signpost, but the mid-Victorian six-inch Ordnance Survey map calls it Bourtree Bush. The three nearest houses are the oldest remaining ones. In the foreground is the former main road, but the bridge over the Den of Lauriston has collapsed on both sides. Even the fenced pedestrian path is now closed off at both ends; the barriers are just this side of the nearest building.
