The Barry Burn, otherwise known as Pitairlie Burn is a minor river in Angus, Scotland. It rises in the eastern portion of the Sidlaw Hills and flows past Newbigging, through Barry and the western part of Carnoustie, before taking a meandering course through Carnoustie Golf Links. [1]

The burn passes (and is the power source for) Barry Mill, one of only two remaining water-powered mills in Scotland, now owned by the National Trust for Scotland.
