The Stones of Livingston, a monument/installation/feature in Livingston in West Lothian. We've been unable to find out much about this intriguing stone circle; but it seems that its origins are more modern than ancient.

The spectacular Lin's Mill Aqueduct, completed in 1822 to carry the Union Canal 75ft above the River Almond, which at this point forms the boundary between Edinburgh and West Lothian. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/ratho/linsmill/index.html

I stumbled across a small wildfire in Blackridge, W Lothian, just as firefighters were showing up.

Scottish Fire & Rescue issued an "extreme wildfire warning". Climate change is making these destructive fires even more dangerous

On this day in history. 71 years ago today, on 27 July 1953, an armistice brought about a cease-fire in the Korean War. This is the poignant Scottish Korean War Memorial in the Bathgate Hills near Linlithgow. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/linlithgow/koreanwarmemorial/index.html

'Customers can also shop for a t-shirt with Clackmannanshire on it, which is accompanied by the caption "Clarity Precedes Success" and the year 1974.'

(From the photo accompanying the story, the Clackmannanshire shirt also has a drawing of a street scene with palm trees.)

The Union Canal at Linlithgow. After four years' construction it opened in 1822 and its 31½ lock-free miles follow the 240ft contour from Edinburgh to Falkirk, giving it the name it was known by at the time, the "mathematical river".

The amazing prehistoric henge and cairn at Cairnpapple Hill in the Bathgate Hills. It's over 5,000 years old and on a clear day can offer magnificent views across central Scotland taking in Arran in the west and Bass Rock in the east.

The imposing south front of Linlithgow Palace seen through its outer gate. King James V and his daughter Mary, Queen of Scots were both born here, and its origins probably date back to a royal manor house built on the site in the 1100s.

Torphichen Preceptory in West Lothian. From the 1140s this was the only base north of London of the Knights Hospitaller of the Order of St John of Jerusalem. From 1312 it also administered property previously held by the Knights Templar. More pics and info: https://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/torphichen/preceptory/index.html

On this day in history. Mary Queen of Scots was born 481 years ago today on 8 December 1542 in Linlithgow Palace. Mary is the most intriguing, most studied, and most famous of all Scottish monarchs: probably because she seems the most human.
