Is it Briardene or Brierdene? Djmckee1 - Talk-Sign 19:20, 8 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

It's Brierdene, thought Briardene is a common mis-spelling. (I used to live there). Walkerma (talk) 18:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Does Brierdene really exist? Brierdene Burn and Brierdene Farm both exist and are recorded by Ordnance Survey but OS does not show any area called Brierdene. Google Maps have a label Brierdene at the Brierdene Burn. Local businesses use the name, vis Brierdene Car Wash and The Brier Dene Public House. I have lived in a number of places where there was a common name for a place. Everyone knew what you were talking about but the name didn't appear on any map. When I returned twenty years later the name had fallen out of use. The lack of citations suggests that this is just an unofficial local name - possibly invented by developers when they built the houses.

I would like some evidence that the area exists. OrewaTel (talk) 22:56, 4 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
