The Pairney Burn is a right tributary of Ruthven Water in Perth and Kinross in east Scotland . It arises in the Ochil Hills from two source rivers, the Coulshill Burn and the Glen Burn, which flow to it from the slopes of Corb Law, Muckle Law and Simpleside Hill. Its course initially takes it west. After about one and a half kilometers, at the ruins of the abandoned homestead Nether Beldhill, the Coul Burn flows towards it from the southwest, the Pairney Burn turns north here.
His further course leads him through a narrow, uninhabited valley, overlooked here by Coul Hill in the west and by Craig Rossie and Ben Effrey in the east. At its exit from the Ochil Hills it is flanked by two opposite prehistoric complexes, Castle Craig in the east and Kay Craig in the west. In this area, the Pairney Burn also forms the western border of the nature reserve ( SSSI ) Craig Rossie .
At the hamlet of Pairney the brook bends sharply to the west, crosses shortly after the listed Parney Bridge , the railway line leading from Stirling to Perth and the A9 highway and shortly afterwards, about one kilometer northeast of Auchterarder at the Shinafoot homestead, flows into Ruthven Water.
The Pairney Burn has a length of 9.29 kilometers, its water code is 6807.
