 West
Linton is a historical conservation village nestling at the base of
the Pentland Hills in Peeblesshire, Scotland. Its history stretches
way back in time mainly in connection with being a stopping place
for cattle herded from the North on their way down into England and
had a market on what is now the village green.
No visitor to Peebles can fail to notice
the Old Parish Church. Standing at the west end of the High Street
and overlooking the Tweed Bridge, it occupies the site of Peebles'
medieval castle and dominates the town.
The church was built between 1885 and
1887 and was dedicated on 29 March 1887. It includes some features
from an earlier Parish Church built on the site in 1784
Peebles Parish Church has a long
history, although the 1887 structure was built on the site of its
1784 predecessor, it is unusual in having previously occupied two
other sites in Peebles, both of which still carry remains of the
earlier structures.
The first Parish Church, dedicated to St
Mungo, was built some time before 600AD on a site on the west side
of today's town.
