The farm lies on the south side of the low-lying (30m) land formerly called *Bathbog (Bothebog 1589 RMS v no. 1675, Bothboig 1609 RMS vii no. 9), through which flows the Bluther Burn. Although this area is now drained, the field there is still known as ‘The Bog’.[86] On the rising land immediately north of this boggy area is Bath and Bath Hill.

OS Pathf also shows West Bogside Wood.
