From the Wikipedia article
Breakachy Burn (Scottish Gaelic: Allt Bhreacacaidh, meaning "Stream of the Speckled Field") is a mountain stream in the Highland council area of Scotland. Despite its narrow width, the burn covers a large drainage basin with many smaller tributaries running off the hillside into it. The Breakachy Burn passes no human settlements on its course, before flowing into the River Beauly near Teanassie Primary School. According to a 1763 document known as the Warrand of Buchter, Breakachy (listed as "Brackachy") and its surrounding lands were a davoch town in the Earldom of Ross. The area was likely used for sheep-grazing, as with most upland in the surrounding Strathglass. Breakachy Burn features in several of the novels of Scottish author Iain R. Thomson, including The Long Horizon (1999) and The Endless Tide (2005).
