Barr, a stream of Killean parish, Kintyre, Argyllshire. It rises on the NE side of Cruach Mhic-an-t-Saoir (1195 feet), and runs 8½ miles S by W and SW to the Atlantic, which it enters 15/8 mile S by E of Glencardoch Point. It contains salmon and trout, and is preserved. Barr, a hill in St Mungo parish, Dumfriesshire, situated at the side of the river Milk. Barr, an estate, with a mansion, in Lochwinnoch parish, Renfrewshire. The mansion stands in the south-western vicinity of Lochwinnoch village; and was rebuilt, in the latter part of last century, on the site of a previous mansion. An oblong, four-story, roofless tower, stands on an eminence near the mansion; has both slits for arrows and ports for guns; and appears, from the style of its architecture, to have been built in the 15th century. A lake lay adjacent, but has been drained.
