Notes
The name is not shown on OS 6 inch 1st edn (1843 x 1882), but it can be presumed to have existed, since it must have given its name to Glenpatrick Distillery, which appears on that map (unless perhaps the distillery's name was created de novo, and gave its name subsequently to the glen in which it stands).
