Comparison Insulation in West Linton

West Linton

West Linton is a village as well as civil parish in southerly Scotland, on the A702. It was previously in the area of Peeblesshire, but because local government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. Much of its citizens are commuters, owing to the village's proximity to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north eastern. West Linton has a long history, and holds an annual typical celebration called the Whipman Play. The town of Linton is of old beginning. Its name derives from a Celtic component (cognate with the contemporary Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, as well as contemporary 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 swimming pool) and the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "cacophony"), for a citadel, strengthened location, or armed forces camp (pertaining to the modern English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of homes), as well as is evidently proper, as the village appears to have actually been surrounded by lakes, pools and marshes. At once it was called Lyntoun Roderyck, determined maybe with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose area included this location, or with a regional chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic variation of the place name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic kind of Roderick. The prefix "West" was gotten many centuries later to make clear the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
