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.
