Torphichen Jubilee Well

Highlight • Monument

Torphichen's Jubilee Well was built in 1852 at a time when few houses had their own water supply. In 1896 a plaque of Queen Victoria was added to commemorate her Diamond Jubilee of 60 years on the throne. The well was refurbished in 2016 and its concrete roof was replaced with a new stainless steel roof complete with Maltese Cross finial. The Maltese cross is the symbol of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John who made their Scottish headquarters at Torphichen circa 1160. The nearby Preceptory contains some remains.

Puir Wifes Brae Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Climb

This is a really underrated but great climb in the Bathgate Alps, nice and long with some switchbacks. The climb eases off towards the top, however you can keep going over the crossroads and head straight up to The Knock for a great climb!!

Climb Through Wind Farm to Climpy

Once through the town the road becomes very quiet (traffic wise) and the road surface is great. I will be returning when the weathers a bit better.
