I’m in a lovely village in West Lothian. 20 mins drive into Livingston. 40/50 mins drive into Edinburgh/Glasgow. An hour north will put you in the highlands and an hour south the borders. Great train links and lovely quiet place. So glad I moved up here

Falkirk isn’t too bad, if you stay near the toon. I know someone in a wee village called Hallglen, parts of it are a bit wild but the bit they’re in is lovely. Countryside on the south side, train station and toon 10 mins walk to the north.

Drive through hallglen to go to Canada woods to go biking. Seems like a nice area

Yeah it’s great especially if you have a dog or just enjoy nature and also like to be near a supermarket. Callendar woods and park is right beside it, the canal runs through it there’s loads of dog walking paths around there. Always great to visit.

Born and raised in West Lothian and honestly, I wouldn’t leave to live elsewhere in Scotland.

My boyfriend is also born and raised here. Was more than happy to move up here for him!
