- Braid_Burn abstract "The Braid Burn is a stream 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) in length that flows through south and east Edinburgh. The area of the basin drained by the burn and its tributaries amounts to 30.5 square kilometres (11.8 sq mi). From its source near Bonaly in the Pentland Hills south-west of the city it flows in a generally north-easterly direction, skirting the Braid Hills to the east and south, via the Braid Valley Park, the Hermitage of Braid, Blackford Glen, Cameron Toll and Inch Park. On reaching Peffermill it is joined by the Pow Burn, and at Duddingston its name changes to the Figgate Burn. It flows on to enter the Firth of Forth at Portobello.In former years flooding frequently took place at points along the course of the burn, most recently in 2000, 2002 and 2008. In 2004 the City of Edinburgh Council decided to install a flood prevention scheme along much of the stream's length. The scheme was completed in 2010 at a cost of £17 million.The burn is mentioned in Muriel Spark's famous novel of Edinburgh, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, when Sandy and Miss Brodie meet after the war at the Braid Hills Hotel: 'They looked out of the wide windows at the little Braid Burn trickling through the fields and at the hills beyond, so austere from everlasting that they had never been capable of losing anything by the war.'".
