wynd
/wʌɪnd
/noun Scottish & Northern English
A narrow street or alley: [as name]: Friars Wynd...
- Edinburgh's cobbled streets and wynds were perfect for scenes in the Julia Roberts-starring Jekyll and Hyde variation Mary Reilly, and were the setting for ITV's Dickensian Christmas extravaganza, Micawber, starring David Jason.
- Much of the drama was shot in the narrow wynds of Edinburgh's Old Town and has a grim, claustrophobic feel that producer Ian Madden likens to the contemporary horror movie, Seven.
- The historic town centre is a web of wynds and cobbled streets.
Origin
Middle English: apparently from the stem of the verb wind2.
