Auld Alliance?

I wonder if there is a Guinness record for the number of names given to the same street in the same place. We are a village of about 1100 houses, roughly a mile from end to end. In that distance, we pass through...

- Milcombe Road (reflecting the name of the next village)
- Station Road, on which the old Banbury-Evesham line station still stands, now as Station House
- East End (it's now quite central, but I guess it was once indeed the end)
- High Street (a rendering of old English 'heah', the Internet says, meaning 'most important')
- Chapel Street (the chapel has a fairly volatile history, with arrests of some of the leading members at one point)
- Netting Street (possibly rope making?)
- and finally, er, Scotland End - our part

There are seven properties in Scotland End that feature the word Scotland, from Bungalow, through Mount and Barn to Farmhouse. And there are several cod histories about where the name comes from, featuring kilts, haggis, pipes, breakaway republics and detachments of the Scots Guards. There were mischievous rumours we might get a vote in the independence referendum, but it came to naught

A few days ago, Greygranite1745 posted a charming, intriguing shot of White butterbur in NE Scotland - rather special because the white species is pretty much restricted to that part of the country. I promised to check out the butterbur we have here. Notwithstanding this being in Scotland End - at Scotland House, no less - these are, unsurprisingly, the common-or-garden butterbur that is widespread across the rest of UK. The flowers will eventually be a delicate pink, not white, and they are well behind the white ones in the far north - this individual is one of the most advanced, but most are only just emerging from the damp ground, with little sign of leaves yet

It should be no surprise that our butterbur are cousins, not siblings, of their Scottish kin, because the rather sad and banal truth is that Scotland End probably has nothing to do with Caledonia. However prosaic, It is much more likely that this part of the village simply comprised land owned by a man called Scott
