Old Photograph East Linton Scotland

Old photograph of East Linton, East Lothian, Scotland. Originally called Linton, the village probably gets its name from the Linn, a waterfall, on the river which it grew alongside. It was later called East Linton to distinguish it from West Linton in Peebleshire when the railways were built. Civil engineer John Rennie, born 1761, died 1821, was born here, at Phantassie on Dunbar Road. He died at his home in London while working on the London Bridge project, a bridge he designed. The work was completed by his sons, George and Sir John Rennie.

The River Earn leaves Loch Earn at St Fillans and runs east through Strathearn, then East and South, joining the River Tay near Abernethy. The Earn is about 46 miles long. It passes by Comrie, Crieff and Bridge of Earn.
