Elvan Water, a rivulet of Crawford parish, SE Lanarkshire, rising, as Shortcleuch Water, on Lowther Hill, close to the Dumfriesshire border. Thence it winds 77/8. miles north-eastward till, just after passing beneath a viaduct of the Caledonian Railway, it falls into the Clyde at Elvanfoot. It descends during this course from 2000 to 885 feet above sea-level, and is famous for particles of gold which, from time to time, have been found in its sands.—Ord. Sur., sh. 15, 1864.
