Ford on unnamed burn near Drumnessie A small burn draining into the Banton Burn from the hillside in the vicinity of Katie Fristy Well which, according to the mid nineteenth-century OS name book, is 'a strong spring of pure water issuing from a rock near the ruin of Bardowie. The name is well known to all and is supposed to be derived from the name of a person who, at a very remote period, kept the Public House there.'
