West Linton
West Linton is a village and civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the region of Peeblesshire, yet since 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 lengthy history, as well as holds a yearly standard celebration called the Whipman Play. The town of Linton is of ancient origin. Its name stems from a Celtic element (cognate with the modern Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, as well as modern-day Welsh "Llyn") suggesting 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 also linn, suggesting black pool) as well as the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "din"), for a citadel, fortified place, or military camp (related to the contemporary English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of residences), as well as is seemingly appropriate, as the village appears to have actually been surrounded by lakes, pools and also marshes. At one time it was known as Lyntoun Roderyck, determined possibly with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose region 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 form of Roderick. The prefix "West" was gotten several centuries later to make clear the difference from East Linton in East Lothian.
