West Linton
West Linton is a village as well as civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the area of Peeblesshire, but since city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. Much of its residents are travelers, owing to the village's distance to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 km) to the north east. West Linton has a lengthy background, and holds an annual standard celebration called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of old beginning. Its name derives from a Celtic aspect (cognate with the modern Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, as well as modern-day Welsh "Llyn") implying 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 as well as linn, meaning black pool) and the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "din"), for a fortress, fortified location, or armed forces camp (related to the contemporary English town, using the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of residences), and also is seemingly ideal, as the town shows up to have been bordered by lakes, pools and also marshes. At once it was called Lyntoun Roderyck, determined possibly with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose region included this area, or with a local chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the place name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic type of Roderick. The prefix "West" was obtained many centuries later to make clear the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
