Devon, Black or South, a small river of Fife and Clackmannanshire, rising on Outh Muir (900 feet) in the N of Dunfermline parish, 7 furlongs WSW of Dumglow, the highest of the Cleish Hills, and thence running 15¼ miles westward and south-westward through and along the borders of Saline and Clackmannan parishes, till it falls into the Forth, 1¼ mile SE of Alloa. It has very small volume in droughty seasons, most of its waters being then collected in dams or reservoirs for driving mills; it takes the name of Black Devon from the gloomy appearance of its waters; and it contains some pike and little trout.—Ord. Sur., shs. 40,39,1867-69.
