Gruggies Burn at Buchanan Street
The burn here runs parallel to Buchanan Street, which is on the left, behind the wall. It is probably safe to assume(*) that the street was named after Dr Buchanan (d.1871; see Image), who lived in nearby Knoxland House (now gone; see Image).
(*) In this connection, I consulted the cuttings in Dumbarton Library: they do not give the reason for the name Buchanan Street, but they do mention that it was known as Boundary Street until at least 1901.
