Background
History
The water from the Dighty Burn was used as a power source for the mill buildings at the Claverhouse Bleachworks factory. In the past, the Dighty Water was used to power water wheels and cloth was bleached on its banks. Trout and a few salmon are found in the burn. Several hundred Mesolithic tools of flint were found on the banks of Dighty Water, approximately where the burn passes under the A92. In 2013, Dighty Connect was formed, a group aiming to enhance green spaces situated around the burn through a mixture of conservation and cultural activities.
