what is a wynd
A wynd (/waÉªnd/) is typically a narrow lane between houses. The name is frequently encountered in towns and villages in Scotland and Northern England.The word derives from Old Norse venda, implying a turning off a main street, without implying that it is curved.In fact, most wynds are straight.hilst Cove Wynd does have a cave on it (St Fillan's Cave), Calman's Wynd is not, as assumed, derived from coal. On North Carolinaâs Bald Head Island the main roads are referred to as wynds, such as North, South and West, Bald Head Wynd and Stede Bonnet Wynd and Edward Teach Wynd.
