West Linton
West Linton is a village and also civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was previously in the county of Peeblesshire, yet given that local government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. A number of its locals are travelers, owing to the town's closeness to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north east. West Linton has a lengthy history, and also holds an annual typical celebration called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of ancient beginning. Its name stems from a Celtic element (cognate with the modern-day Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and also modern 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 swimming pool, or Dublin, an Anglicisation of dubh and also linn, implying black pool) and the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "hullabaloo"), for a citadel, fortified area, or army camp (pertaining to the modern English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of dwellings), as well as is evidently appropriate, as the town shows up to have been surrounded by lakes, swimming pools and marshes. At one time it was called 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 type of Roderick. The prefix "West" was gotten many centuries later to clear up the difference from East Linton in East Lothian.
