The Red Burn
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 26 Jan 2018
A subdivision of New Bonhill is called Redburn, after this burn. I have had a different burn, the one that currently flows through the Redburn area of housing (it flows east-west through Image), pointed out to me as "the Red Burn". It would be natural to make that identification, but OS maps from the first-edition (1860) to the present-day disagree. The Red Burn is the one shown here. It flows along the southern edge of the New Bonhill estates. The course of the burn is important in that it served as the boundary between Dumbarton and Bonhill Parishes.
