Black Devon
The Black Devon is a river in Scotland. It rises in the Cleish Hills,〔() walkScotland - The Cleish Hills〕〔() Cambridge County Geographies - Clackmannan and Kinross (Google Books)〕 specifically the area known as Outh Muir,〔()
Forth District Salmon Fishery Board - Black Devon]〕 north of Knockhill Racing Circuit, around north-west of Dunfermline, Fife, with the gathering of three small streams in branch formation.〔() Streetmap - Source of Black Devon〕 The river flows westwards through Balgonar, north of Saline, and then merges with the Saline Burn. The Black Devon flows into Clackmannanshire, through the hamlet of Forestmill and past the town of Clackmannan. The Black Devon enters the River Forth south of Alloa,〔() Streetmap - Confluence with Forth〕 north of Dunmore Pier.
It is a narrow and shallow river that holds wild brown trout, and also sees sea trout in winter months that come into the Firth of Forth, which is tidal as far as Stirling. The Rivers and Fisheries Trusts of Scotland manage the River Forth and its tributary rivers, which besides the Black Devon include the River Devon, River Teith, and River Allan.
==Disappearance==
In June 1952 the last two miles of the Black Devon disappeared〔() Forth Naturalist and Historian Volume 19 page 17.〕 into old coal mine workings. These eventually filled with a mixture of fresh and salt water, the river being tidal at the point where the collapse into the mine workings occurred.
