West Linton is a village as well as civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the region of Peeblesshire, yet considering that city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. A lot of its homeowners are commuters, owing to the village’s distance to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 km) to the north eastern. West Linton has a long history, and also holds a yearly standard celebration called the Whipman Play. The town of Linton is of old beginning. Its name stems from a Celtic aspect (cognate with the modern Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and also contemporary 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) and also the Gaelic “dun” Welsh “din”), for a fortress, fortified location, or military camp (related to the contemporary English town, using the Saxon “tun”, a ranch or collection of residences), and is evidently ideal, as the town appears to have been bordered by lakes, pools as well as marshes. At one time it was known as Lyntoun Roderyck, identified perhaps with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose region included this location, or with a local chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic form of Roderick. The prefix “West” was acquired several centuries later on to clarify the difference from East Linton in East Lothian.
