Does anyone know what Armadale, West Lothian and the surrounding area is like?  I've had a look on the internet but can't find much info.  Any info. would be welcome.  Thanks.

Hi Jax,

Most of West Lothian is former mining country - the scenery is lovely in the summer but a bit gloomy in the winter.:D

The area is quite in demand at the moment due to the price of houses in Edinburgh - as a result there are a lot of new builds in most of the bigger towns.

If I remember right from the last time I was there, the High Street has mostly independent retailers and it doesn't take long to go from one side of the town to the other.

Plenty of walkable countryside around - good access to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the South.
