West Linton
West Linton is a town and also civil parish in southerly Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the area of Peeblesshire, but because local government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is currently part of Scottish Borders. Much of its citizens are travelers, owing to the town's closeness to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north east. West Linton has a long background, and holds a yearly typical event called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of ancient beginning. Its name originates from a Celtic aspect (cognate with the modern Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, as well as contemporary 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 pool, or Dublin, an Anglicisation of dubh and also linn, meaning black swimming pool) and also the Gaelic "dun" Welsh "hubbub"), for a fortress, strengthened area, or armed forces camp (related to the modern-day English town, using the Saxon "tun", a ranch or collection of dwellings), as well as is seemingly appropriate, as the town shows up to have been surrounded by lakes, swimming pools as well as marshes. At one time it was called Lyntoun Roderyck, identified probably with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose territory included this area, or with a local 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 acquired lots of centuries later to make clear the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
