Bavelaw, a burn of SW Edinburghshire. It rises on Mid Hill, near the watershed of the Pentlands; runs 4¼ miles north-eastward to the vicinity of Harelaw; and goes thence 1¾ mile north-westward to the Water of Leith at Balerno. It is overlooked, on the right, 2½ miles below its source, by remains of an ancient royal hunting-seat of its own name; it afterwards expands into the two reservoirs of Thriepmuir and Harelaw; and it subsequently drives some mills.
