Also known as Winfield.
According to the first Statistical Account, the farm was named after a proprietor called Wynne Johnstone Esq. (See also Hilton). At the end of the 18th century, the farm belonged to the Earl of Wemyss. The farm consisted of 650 acres or of variable quality, with the best soil to be found north of the road.
Wynnefield does not appear on the Roy map of 1747 to 1755, or earlier maps such as Herman Moll's. It does appear on John Blackadder's map of 1797, and subsequent maps.
