West Linton is a village 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 residents are commuters, owing to the town’s proximity to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 km) to the north east. West Linton has a long history, and also holds a yearly standard festival called the Whipman Play. The town of Linton is of old origin. Its name stems from a Celtic element (cognate with the modern-day Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and contemporary Welsh “Llyn”) meaning 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 linn, meaning black swimming pool) as well as the Gaelic “dun” Welsh “hullabaloo”), for a citadel, fortified area, or armed forces camp (pertaining to the modern English town, using the Saxon “tun”, a ranch or collection of residences), and is seemingly ideal, as the town shows up to have actually been surrounded by lakes, swimming 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 numerous centuries later on to clarify the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
