A mobile car valeter cleans, polishes and details your vehicle at your home or workplace - saving you the trip to a car wash and delivering a far superior finish.

Services typically range from a basic exterior wash and interior vacuum to a full detail including machine polishing, wax protection and leather conditioning.

A good local valeter will know how to deal with Scottish weather damage, salt corrosion and the kind of mud that comes with country roads - and they come to you, so your car gets the treatment without leaving the driveway.

Mid Calder is a conservation village with a character noticeably older than most of West Lothian, built around a historic parish church and a broad main street of stone buildings.

The parish church is of particular note: John Knox is said to have administered communion according to the reformed rite here in 1556, in one of the earliest acts of Protestant worship in Scotland.

The village has held onto much of its historic built fabric, with stone cottages and traditional shop fronts giving it an atmosphere quite distinct from the county's new town areas.

Almondell and Calderwood Country Park runs along the River Almond nearby, providing easy access to one of West Lothian's finest stretches of riverside walking.

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.
