Bonny Water and Red Burn confluence
A closer view of the confluence in http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2351507 underlines the fact that the Auchincloch/Bonny is a wee burn joining a river. 'Reports of John Smeaton' (the Forth & Clyde Canal engineer) pp.42, 1764, pub. London, 1812; "Red Burn, which together with Auchinclough, forms the river Bonnie, a little above Castlecary Bridge."

Woodneuk aqueduct and Red Burn
Everything you see in this photo is man made - including the river. The aqueduct, built in 1770 carries the Forth & Clyde canal. The canal Resident Engineer, Robert Mackell, under pressure to trim costs diverted the Red Burn from its natural route which went north-west to join the Bonny Water to a directly northern course to enable a shorter span for the aqueduct over the river.

Castlecary Roman fort
The two Roman soldiers guarding the gate mark the entrance to the site of the Castlecary Roman fort and annexe, one of only two forts along the Antonine Wall to have stone ramparts. Unfortunately, very little is visible of the fort today.

Bonny Water and Red Burn confluence
Immediate view of the little and large water courses. I would advance the possibility of the burn joining the Red Burn here not being the Bonny Water at all but actually the Auchincloch Burn. I suspect the surveyors of the first O.S. survey in 1858 extended the length of the Bonny in error when in fact the name only came into being at this confluence.

Castlecary Arches from the air
Formally known as Red Burn Viaduct, also known as Castlecary Viaduct, the Category B Listed structure http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB10520 was built in 1842 to carry the main Glasgow to Edinburgh railway line over the Red Burn, a function which it still serves today. The M80 motorway now also makes use of two of the eight arches.
