Dumbain farm, Mill of Haldane, used to be accessed along the Tinkers loan, so called because a patch of land in the farm was used by travellers as an encampment. Originally owned by the Kippens of Westerton, but the Watsons have been owners since the beginning of the 20th century. Robert Watson who owned and farmed the nearby Wester Auchencarroch in the late 19th century was the only farmer in the Vale of Leven who actually owned his own farm.
