Talk:River Devon, Clackmannanshire

Comments
Robert Burns and his friend, Adair visited Harviestoun, in the parish of Tillicoultry in 1787. At this point Mrs and Miss Hamilton, the mother and sister of Gavin Hamilton of Mauchline in Ayrshire were also staying there. Together they all visited areas of beauty along the banks of the Devon. While staying at Harviestoun Burns wrote 2 poems, "The Banks of the Devon" and "Fairest Maid on Devon Bank". Burns fell for the charm and beauty of Charlotte Hamilton but she was more attracted to Burns' friend, Adair whom she later married
