West Linton
West Linton is a town and civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was previously in the county of Peeblesshire, yet since city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. Most of its residents are travelers, owing to the village's distance to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north eastern. West Linton has a long background, and holds a yearly standard celebration called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of old origin. Its name originates from a Celtic aspect (cognate with the modern-day Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and also modern Welsh "Llyn") meaning 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) as well as the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "racket"), for a citadel, fortified location, or army camp (related to the modern-day English town, by way of the Saxon "tun", a farm or collection of houses), and also is obviously proper, as the village appears to have been bordered by lakes, pools as well as marshes. At one time it was known as Lyntoun Roderyck, determined perhaps with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose area included this location, or with a regional chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the place name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic kind of Roderick. The prefix "West" was acquired lots of centuries later on to clarify the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
