The Ardoch Burn begins at Loch Mahaick in the high braes (56.2361°N 4.0842°W / 56.2361; -4.0842 (Ardoch Burn (source))), eventually reaching the end of its journey where it meets the River Teith at Inverardoch (56.1815°N 4.0471°W / 56.1815; -4.0471 (Ardoch Burn (mouth))). It has several tributaries along its course as it drains the south western slopes of Uamh Mhor before passing Kilbride Castle and west to Doune where it meets the River Teith.[2] The stream's course flows broadly southwards and is approximately 7 miles in length from source to its convergence with the River Teith.[1]
