Almondell Country Park

Highlight • Bridge

I think this needs re-classified, given the nature of the surfaces in Almondell I would not suggest it to be suitable for a road bike. MTB/Hybrid/CX/Gravel bikes should have no issue.

Greendykes Bing

Highlight • Structure

Just one of the many bings in West Lothian, quite pretty when the low sun hits it.

Linlithgow Palace

Highlight • Castle

The ruins of Linlithgow Palace are situated in the town of Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland, 15 miles (24 km) west of Edinburgh. The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries. Although maintained after Scotland's monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. It is now a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.

Dudley Cat Statue

Highlight • Monument

Dudley was the much-loved cat of Liz Burrows of Linlithgow. He was a rescue cat who had come to her via Lothian Cat Rescue and had been named after the area of Edinburgh where he was found – Duddingston. It was unclear whether he was a lost pet or a stray – it seemed that the former was perhaps more likely as Dudley was not an ordinary moggy. He was identified as an ‘ocicat’ – so named because of the breed’s resemblance to the wild ocelot.
