River Stinchar
River in South Ayrshire, Scotland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The River Stinchar (/ˈstɪnʃər/ STIN-shər)[1] is a river in South Ayrshire, Scotland. It flows south west from the Galloway Forest Park to enter the Firth of Clyde at Ballantrae, about 20 kilometres (12 miles) south-southeast of Ailsa Craig.
It is reputed poet Robert Burns fished the river, and despite being impressed by its beauty, was unable to find words to rhyme with the name.[citation needed]
In the mid-20th century, William MacFarlane and his family, who lived in nearby Pinmore Lodge among 900 acres (360 hectares), built motor boats under the brand of Stinchar Craft.
