Stanley Burn near Bluebell
Gardens 6 8
March 2010
The Stanley Burn is known locally and inaccurately as the Galloway Burn.
The name 'Galloway Burn' is not used on maps. The original Galloway Burn flowed
through what is now Jack's Park in Saltcoats then beside Galloway Place and the
railway line before joining the Stanley Burn in the Holm
Plantation. At that point, the Galloway and Stanley Burns flowed into the
sea. This explains why the Stanley Burn might be referred to as the Galloway Burn
even though the latter has been filled in. If you know dates for the infill or
