Candy or Spittal, a burn of Lanark and Peebles shires. It rises in the NE corner of Biggar parish; runs about 5 miles along the boundary between that parish and Peeblesshire; and falls into Biggar Water. A height overhangs it at Candyburn, and is crowned with an ancient oval camp, measuring 42 paces by 30 within an inner rampart, and 9 paces wide thence to an outer rampart.—Ord. Sur., sh. 24,1864.
