Lamancha , Gaelic Grainnse Rath Mhanach , is a village on the north-western edge of the Scottish Council Area Scottish Borders or in the traditional county of Peeblesshire . It is located about eight kilometers south of Penicuik and ten kilometers northwest of Peebles off the eastern flank of the Pentland Hills .
history
The settlement of the region can probably be traced back to the Bronze Age . For example, there are ring markings on a sandstone slab near the village. A suspected Bronze Age burial place could not be proven.
Lamancha was under the influence of two mansions . Lamancha House dates back to a country villa from 1663. Archibald Campbell , who later became the third Duke of Argyll , had Whim House built in the 1730s .
