West Linton

West Linton is a town and also civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the county of Peeblesshire, however because city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. Much of its residents are commuters, owing to the town's closeness to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north east. West Linton has a long background, and also holds an annual typical celebration called the Whipman Play. The town of Linton is of old origin. Its name originates from a Celtic element (cognate with the contemporary Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, as well as modern-day Welsh "Llyn") indicating a lake or pool, a pool in a river, or a network (as in Loch Linnhe, part of which is called An Linne Dhubh, the black pool, or Dublin, an Anglicisation of dubh and linn, suggesting black pool) as well as the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "racket"), for a citadel, fortified place, or military camp (pertaining to the modern English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a farm or collection of dwellings), as well as is seemingly proper, as the town shows up to have been bordered by lakes, pools and also marshes. At one time it was referred to as Lyntoun Roderyck, determined probably with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose territory included this location, or with a neighborhood chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the place name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic kind of Roderick. The prefix "West" was gotten many centuries later to clarify the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
