Glenmanno Burn, a stream of Penpont parish, NW Dumfriesshire, rising, 4 miles to the E of the meeting-point with Ayr and Kirkcudbright shires, at an altitude of 1500 feet, and running 35/8 miles east-by-southward till, after a descent of 870 feet, it falls into Scar Water at a point 6¾ miles NW of Penpont village. Its pastoral valley is associated with curious and stirring anecdotes of a sheep farmer, known only as Glenmanno, who lived in the latter half of last century, and performed wonderful feats of physical strength.—Ord. Sur., sh 15, 1864.
