West Linton

West Linton is a town and civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the area of Peeblesshire, but given that city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. Many of its locals are travelers, owing to the village's proximity to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 km) to the north eastern. West Linton has a long history, as well as holds a yearly typical festival called the Whipman Play. The town of Linton is of ancient beginning. Its name derives from a Celtic element (cognate with the modern Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and contemporary Welsh "Llyn") suggesting 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 linn, indicating black swimming pool) and also the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "din"), for a citadel, fortified place, or armed forces camp (pertaining to the contemporary English community, by way of the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of dwellings), and also is evidently appropriate, as the village shows up to have actually been surrounded by lakes, pools and marshes. At one time it was called Lyntoun Roderyck, identified perhaps with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose region 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 lots of centuries later to clear up the difference from East Linton in East Lothian.
