Ayrshire village and parish name help

[Ruskie]

A description of Wynd from Wiki (which you've probably seen):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wynd

There were probably hundreds of Wynds but which one is Robert Wallace from? You would expect (dangerous) it to have been local to Galstone or Mauchline ... of course it may no longer have that name, which makes it difficult to research and find on a modern map.

I googled on "mauchline+wynd" and came across Mauchline traders Ayrshirehistory.com
which shows reciepts from traders and mentions bills from traders "The Wynd" just over the Sorn parish boundary into Galston.  Hope this is of help.

G'day Ruskie & Seekthem, I had not seen the Wiki for Wynd or interesting info that Liz found, all the little pieces help to form a clearer picture.

I appreciate everyone's help.

Do have a lovely Christmas to all.

Kind regards,
