It still is the moothe,although there is very little left of what you will remember.
It was altered when the opencast was working and a huge concrete culvert was built,although I don't know why.
In my opinion the burn should have been reinstated back to its original course once the opencast had finished but that's unlikely now.
We would spend hours there as kids fishing for flatties and Eels with hand lines and lighting fires with the diesel that stood in drums along the coal road.
