The Ruchetmoss Burn
The same section of burn is shown, viewed in the opposite direction, in Image On the left, in the present picture, and leading past the wooden post, is the footpath that is referred to in the end-note.
For most of the length of the footpath, the Ruchetmoss Burn runs parallel to it, just to its south. "Ruchetmoss Burn: this small burn is named from its junction with the Carrochan Burn at Arthurston Mill to the parish road at 22 chains east of the same" [OS Object Name Book (1890s)].
In this area, Roy's Military Survey of Scotland (1740s-50s) shows some buildings and enclosures, collectively labelled Rochitmoss, which is clearly the same name. I have seen the burn referred to, in local works from the early twentieth century, as the "Rough-head Moss", a reshaping of Ruchetmoss (and perhaps a bit of folk etymology).
