Brow, a decayed village in Ruthwell parish, Dumfriesshire, on the coast of the Solway Firth, at the influx of Lochar Water, 9 miles SE of Dumfries. It has a chalybeate spring, and was formerly in repute as a watering-place, both for the spring and for sea-bathing. Here Burns spent three of the last weeks of his life (July 1796), in the hope of restoring his shattered constitution.
