Barlewan Burn was straightened by unemployed weavers from the nearby village of Crosshill after the end of the Napoleonic Wars. The faster water flow helped to supply the lade, further downstream, for the old corn mill at Baird's Mill. Photographic opportunities will become difficult when the foliage opens out.
