Dance Information

Cochno Burn is a tributary of the River Clyde, due north of Clydebank, Glasgow, Scotland.

Originally known as Jaw Burn, it starts at Cochno Loch and flows until it converges with Loch Humphrey Burn at Faifley.

Originating in the Kilpatrick Hills, the burn flows through West Dunbartonshire, including through Hardgate. Cochno Burn is also near the Cochno Hill and the Cochno Stone, a notable prehistoric site famous for its ancient rock art.
