Black Burn, a mountain rivulet in Castleton parish, S Roxburghshire, running to the Liddel, ¾ mile above New Castleton. In its short easterly course of 4½ miles it makes a descent of 1300 feet, and forms a series of romantic falls, one of them 27 feet in leap, another 31½, and a third 37½. A natural bridge across it, consisting of one solid rock and 31 feet in span, fell in April 1810. A so-called `Picts' Work,' a circular structure of large stones, strongly fortified by a wall, stands on its left bank.
