Melgam Water, a rivulet of Lintrathen parish, W Forfarshire. Rising as the Back Water, at an altitude of 1970 feet, in the northern extremity of the parish, it winds 15 miles south-by-eastward-for the last 2 miles along the Kingoldrum and Airlie boundary- till, after a total descent of 1600 feet, it falls into the Isla opposite Airlie Castle. It abounds in trout; and salmon ascend it for 2 miles, as far as the Loups of Kenny.—Ord. Sur., sh. 56, 1870.
