Maar or Park Burn, a rivulet of Durisdeer parish, Dumfriesshire, running 5 ¼ miles southward and east-south-eastward-for the last 2 miles along the Penpont boundary-till it falls into the river Nith at a point 2 miles NNW of Thornhill. It traverses the beautiful grounds of Drumlanrig Castle; and the diversion of its course, at the time that the castle was built, forms the theme of an old-world rhyme.—Ord. Sur., shs. 15, 9, 1864-63.
