Old Photograph Sheephousehill Scotland

Old photograph of cottages, houses and children in Sheephousehill by Fauldhouse in West Lothian, Scotland. West Lothian lies on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth and is predominantly rural, though there were extensive coal, iron, and shale oil mining operations in the 18th and 19th centuries, which created distinctive red spoil heaps, locally known as " bings " throughout the council area. The old county town was the royal burgh of Linlithgow, but the largest town (and the second largest town in Lothian after Edinburgh) is now Livingston. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.
