West Linton is a town and also civil parish in southern Scotland, on the A702. It was formerly in the region of Peeblesshire, however considering that local government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is now part of Scottish Borders. A number of its locals are commuters, owing to the town’s closeness to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 km) to the north eastern. West Linton has a long history, and holds a yearly typical event called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of ancient origin. Its name derives from a Celtic aspect (cognate with the modern-day Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, as well as 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 and also linn, suggesting black swimming pool) as well as the Gaelic “dun” Welsh “racket”), for a fortress, fortified place, or armed forces camp (related to the modern-day English community, by way of the Saxon “tun”, a farm or collection of houses), and also is obviously suitable, as the town shows up to have been bordered by lakes, pools and marshes. At once it was called Lyntoun Roderyck, identified possibly with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose territory included this area, or with a neighborhood chieftain of that name. The Scottish Gaelic version of the name is a partial translation, Ruairidh being a Gaelic type of Roderick. The prefix “West” was gotten many centuries later to make clear the difference from East Linton in East Lothian.
