West Linton is a town and also civil parish in southerly Scotland, on the A702. It was previously in the area of Peeblesshire, yet because city government re-organisation in the mid-1990s it is currently part of Scottish Borders. Much of its locals are commuters, owing to the town’s closeness to Edinburgh, which is 16 miles (26 kilometres) to the north east. West Linton has a lengthy background, and holds an annual standard event called the Whipman Play. The village of Linton is of old beginning. Its name derives from a Celtic aspect (cognate with the modern-day Irish Gaelic linn, Scottish Gaelic linne, and modern-day 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 swimming pool, or Dublin, an Anglicisation of dubh and also linn, suggesting black pool) and also the Gaelic “dun” Welsh “racket”), for a fortress, fortified place, or military camp (related to the modern English town, using the Saxon “tun”, a farm or collection of dwellings), and is evidently appropriate, as the village shows up to have been surrounded by lakes, pools as well as marshes. At once it was referred to as Lyntoun Roderyck, determined possibly with Roderyck or Riderch, King of Strathclyde, whose area 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 type of Roderick. The prefix “West” was acquired many centuries later on to clarify the distinction from East Linton in East Lothian.
