Shinnel Water, a troutful rivulet of Tynron parish, Nithsdale, Dumfriesshire, rising at an altitude of 1500 feet in the north-western extremity of the parish, and flowing 10¾ miles east-south-eastward through the interior, then 2 miles north-north -eastward along the Keir boundary, till, after a total descent of 1275 feet, it falls into Scar Water, ½ mile WSW of Penpont. Just at the point of its influx to the Scar, it rushes with great impetuosity over a remarkable ridge of bold rocks; and between 2 and 3 miles above this point, or a little below Tynron manse, it makes a considerable waterfall called Aird Linn, which, owing to its being richly fringed and shaded with wood, is highly picturesque.—Ord. Sur., shs. 15, 9, 1864-63.
