The [[inn at the crossroads]] once was located next to the Trident. It became known as the River Inn, since at that time the river flowed beneath its back door and half the rooms were built out over the water. It was said that the inn's guests could throw a line out their window and catch fish. There was also a ferry landing at the inn, where travelers could cross to [[Lord Harroway's Town]] and [[Whitewalls]]. However, c.{{date|220}}-{{date|230}}, the course of the river moved, flowing miles south of the inn.{{ref|AFFC|37}}
