Rankle Burn, a stream of Ettrick parish, Selkirkshire, rising at an altitude of 1350 feet, within ¼ mile of Moodlaw Loch, at the meeting-point of Selkirk, Dumfries, and Roxburgh shires, and winding 97/8 miles northward-for 2¾ miles along the Roberton, and for ¾ mile along the Kirkhope, boundary-till, after a total descent of 635 feet, it falls into Ettrick Water opposite Tushielaw Tower. It traverses first a wildly moorish tract, afterwards a deeply sequestered pastoral glen; is sung in the ballad of the Maid of the Rankle Burn; and abounds in small trout.—Ord. Sur., sh. 16, 1864.
