History
Roman legions marched from Raedykes to Normandykes Roman Camp crossing Cairnie Burn in the Durris Forest as they sought higher ground evading the bogs of Red Moss and other low-lying mosses associated with the Burn of Muchalls. That march used the Elsick Mounth, one of the ancient trackways crossing the Mounth of the Grampian Mountains,[2] lying west of Netherley.
In poetry
An 1890 poem entitled The Auld House O' Gask by Caroline Oliphant took note of Cairnie Burn:[3] "that winds around the flowery bank of bonnie Cairnie Burn".
