About West Calder

West Calder is a historic town on the western edge of West Lothian, retaining more of the character of an older burgh than many of the county's more heavily developed areas.

The town was at the heart of the shale oil industry — James Young's pioneering paraffin works were established nearby, and the distinctive pink bings remain visible in the surrounding landscape as a legacy of that era.

West Calder High School serves the western end of West Lothian, and the town has a working railway station with services connecting east to Edinburgh and west toward Glasgow.

The surrounding countryside is accessible and largely unspoiled, offering walking and cycling through open land and wooded valleys without the crowds of more tourist-facing areas.

About West Lothian

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.
