Looking straight ahead is the original route of the Ballo Burn. A dam Image was constructed (at some time before 1860, as it is shown on an OS map of that date) which diverted the flow of the burn along a new (the current) route a little to the north, through a different channel. The burn can be seen flowing from the left and rejoining the original route.
