Minnie Burn Near this spot, in a 'cundie' or stone channel, flows the Minnie Burn. It was used as an escape route for a maidservant of Balhaldie House who on February 5th 1746 attempted to murder the Duke of Cumberland by pouring boiling water on his head from an upper window as he rode by in pursuit of the Jacobite army. She was never caught!
