About Architects
An architect designs buildings, extensions and renovations - turning your ideas into detailed plans that meet building regulations and planning requirements.
Whether you're planning a new build, converting a barn or adding an extension, an architect will manage the design process from initial sketches through to construction drawings.
In Scotland, look for an architect registered with the Architects Registration Board (ARB) and ideally chartered with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS).
About Addiewell
Addiewell is a small village in the western end of West Lothian, historically connected to the coal and oil shale industries that shaped this upland part of the county.
The village has a quiet, rural character, with open moorland stretching away to the south and west toward the North Lanarkshire boundary.
West Calder is within easy reach for schools and shops and the M8 provides access to Edinburgh and Glasgow for those who need to travel further afield.
About West Lothian
(opens in new tab)West Lothian is a council area in the heart of the central belt, sitting between Edinburgh to the east, Falkirk to the north and North Lanarkshire to the west.
It is a county of contrasts: historic royal burghs like Linlithgow and ancient villages like Torphichen sit alongside the new town of Livingston and the former mining and shale oil communities that shaped the landscape in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Livingston is the county's main centre - Scotland's fifth-largest settlement - but West Lothian's character is defined as much by its smaller towns: Bathgate, Broxburn, Whitburn and Linlithgow each have their own distinct identity.
The oil shale industry, pioneered here in the 1850s by James Young, left a lasting mark on the landscape in the form of distinctive pink bings - the waste heaps of the shale works - that have become recognised landmarks in their own right.
West Lothian has excellent transport connections, with the M8 and M9 crossing the county, two rail lines linking it to Edinburgh and Glasgow and Edinburgh Airport on its eastern edge.
