You wouldn’t think that a place named West Lothian would be so full of intrigue, would you? It’s an area that’s been shaped by various events, from the prehistoric times right through to the industrial revolution. You can actually see the evidence right here. The modern council area was formed in 1975, but the history is a bit more complex. The area was a county under its own right until 1975 and was known as Linlithgowshire. West Lothian is a large place with a significant population, around 181,720 people. What makes West Lothian so interesting is that it’s a blend of rural beauty and industrial heritage, nestled between the Firth of Forth and the Pentland Hills. They called it Linlithgowshire until 1925, but West Lothian is a name that seems to reflect its geographical location much better. It’s the region west of Edinburgh, and it’s the 20th largest local authority area in Scotland. But it’s also a place of fascinating history and heritage, with a rich tapestry of stories that reveal its past.
