West Linton
West Linton is a town as well as civil parish in southerly Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the area of Peeblesshire, yet considering that city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. A lot of its homeowners are travelers, owing to the village's closeness to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 km) to the north east. West Linton has a lengthy history, as well as holds an annual traditional festival 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, and also contemporary Welsh "Llyn") indicating a lake or pool, a pool in a river, or a channel (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 "hullabaloo"), for a citadel, fortified area, or military camp (pertaining to the modern English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a farm or collection of residences), and also is obviously proper, as the town appears to have been bordered by lakes, pools and also marshes. At once it was known as Lyntoun Roderyck, identified probably with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose area included this location, or with a neighborhood chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic kind of Roderick. The prefix "West" was acquired many centuries later to clarify the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
