Cleghorn Glen and Cartland Craigs
The river runs through Cleghorn Glen and Cartland Craigs, two sites of special scientific interest (SSSI) which form part of the Clyde Valley Woodlands National Nature Reserve.[3] The deep gorge which characterises these SSSIs were formed roughly ten thousand years ago when the Mouse Water started to erode the rock at the site, which was mainly red sandstone.[4]
