This house is named on maps as recently as 1990 as Lady Mary Ann's Butts, but according to the most recent maps it has been renamed Cherrylynne. My thanks to Jean Jubb, whose ancestors lived here in the 18th and 19th centuries, for telling me that it was named after a daughter of one of the Earls of Northesk, though it may previously have been known as Magdalin's Butts after the wife of an earlier Earl. What a pity that, by renaming it, an intriguing place name and a little of the house's history has been lost.
