Linn, an estate, with a mansion, in Dalry parish, Ayrshire, 5 furlongs SSW of the town. Its owner, John Crichton, Esq. (b. 1824; suc. 1832), holds 335 acres in the shire, valued at £1139 per annum. Till about 1827 the ruins of a pre-Reformation chapel stood on the estate, which is believed to be the locality of a fine old ballad, The Heir of Lynne; and four urns containing burned human bones have been exhumed on it.—Ord. Sur., sh. 22, 1v865.
