The Lady Burn The Lady Burn, seen here in Balkail Glen, is a tributary of the River Luce. The name has been assumed to be a dedication to 'Our Lady' - the virgin mary. However it could also be a corruption of 'lade burn' as it was the main power source for a lintmill situated about half a mile upstream from here.

Lovely modern bedroom with beautiful view. Staff were very eager to please. Main areas felt tired. Limited menu and wine list, bit uninspiring.
