[Note] Lin - Lyn - Linn A shrubby ravine. Dr. [Doctor] Jamieson's Scottish Dicty. [Dictionary]
Linn is commonly applied in Scotland to a pool or running water overhung by precipitous banks.
The original derivation of the word from the Greek (λίμνη - a pool probably from [λενίo] to flow) is confirmatory
of the correctness of these applications.
