The name 'Four Winds' (which is now applied to the whole area) derives, I think, from the crossroads here being called the Four 'Wynds' (Scots for 'roads'). These rural roads have long since been widened. The road emerging from the left is Newton Park, straight ahead is Manse Road, to the right is the Ballymaconaghy Road - and behind me is the Cairnshill Road.
