"Hab Dab and David Din
Ding the deil o'er Dabson's Linn."
"Hab Dab" means Halbert Dobson;"David Din" means David Dun; and"Dabson's Linn," or Dob's Linn, is a waterfall near the head of Moffat Water.
Dobson and Dun were two Cameronians who lived for security in a cave in the ravine. Here, as they said, they saw the devil in the form of a pack of dried hides, and after fighting the "foul fiend" for some time, they dinged him into the waterfall. Source: Brewer's Dictionary.
