From the Wikipedia article
Moniack Burn (Scottish Gaelic: Mon-ìothag, meaning "Burn of the Corn Moss") is a small river in the Highland council area of Scotland. The stream flows from the hills of the Aird, its source near the hamlet of Foxhole, passing the settlements of South Clunes, Easter, and Kirkhill before draining into the Beauly Firth.

Background
History
In the past, Moniack was the name given both to the burn and its surrounding area. According to a late-14th century transumpt of charters detailing the bishopric of Moray, Moniack (or Munythoc), was one of the nine davochs of Dunballoch, a former parish in modern-day Kirkhill. In the Wardlaw Manuscript, written by the Rev. James Fraser in 1666, Moniack is referred to as the "Burn of Jack"—believed to be a corruption of its original Gaelic name. In 1637, the river suffered severe flooding, destroying several houses and drowning livestock in Easter. The river is also known as "Newton Burn" at its mouth, near the village of Kirkhill.
