Would you like a service that picks you up from home and takes you where you need to be, but on a more affordable basis than taxis? HcL Transport is a local charity that runs vital transportation services for people with mobility challenges in West Lothian. We run two services that help the elderly, people of any age with disabilities or Additional Support Needs or are affected by geographic remoteness that makes public transport very difficult or impossible to use. The services are also available to those who need help short-term eg while waiting for and following surgery such as a knee replacement or hip replacement. Dial-A-Bus runs a service to The Centre, Asda Livingston and Morrisons Livingston every weekday from different areas across West Lothian; Tuesdays we go to Tesco, Bathgate. On Fridays we go to Tesco, Bathgate; Morrisons, Bathgate and Tescos, Linlithgow. New passengers can have their first Dial-A-Bus ride for free. A return journey is £3.80. So why not give the service a try? To book call 01506 633 336. The service is not just transportation, it is a door-through-door service which means the driver can help you from inside your home/outside your home to your destination. If you go shopping the driver will take your shopping onto the bus for you and then into your home (if you wish). All buses are fitted with wheelchair tie downs so can carry two wheelchairs on board with passengers not needing to get out of their wheelchair. The driver can help you get onto the bus, any walking aid and shopping/possessions. Photos courtesy of: HcL Transport Photos courtesy of: HcL Dial-A-Ride can take you wherever you need to get to. Journeys are varied and based on where you want to go - medical appointments, meeting friends, visiting family, shops, a concert, cinema or theatre, Waverley or Edinburgh Airport or even for a day trip. New passengers get £5 off their first booking. To book or find out more call 01506 633 953. We’re looking for info about the building F&BV CDT are looking for information about The Hub building from you, the Fauldhouse community. The Trust have been here since 2011, after renovating the interior of the building to become The Hub as we know it. It was opened on 12 May 2011 by Isobel McKnight, in memory of Wullie McKnight, founding Director of Fauldhouse Community Development Trust. We know the building was built in 1903 (we are pretty confident about this as it says so on the front). We think it may have been a butcher’s premises at some point and know it was formerly West Lothian Council’s Rent Office. The odd person still comes in to ask housing related questions. Apart from that – we don’t know huge amounts. It must be one of the older buildings in the village. Photo: Lesley Dunsmore We thought, ‘Who better to ask, than the people of Fauldhouse themselves!’ If you know anything about The Hub, 10 Main Street could you please share with us. We would be interested in its history, any stories or memories you have.

  • With a History of the Blacks of Breich Water District
    Digitized by the Internet Archive in 2012 with funding from National Library of Scotland http://www.archive.org/details/melodiesmemoriesOOblac Melodies and Memories. : BROXBURN PRINTED BY A. F. STEEL. Aelodies AND Aeavories WITH A HISTORY OP THE BLACKS OF BREICH WATER DISTRICT. By John Black GLASGOW A. M'LAREN & SON, Argyle Street 1909 c \ e^» ^ y ? in % 1964 '^ Biographical Sketch. JOHN BLACK, author of many poems and prose sketches, came upon the stage of life just as the year of grace 1849 was drawing to a close. He is the eighth of a family of four sons and eight daughters, who were brought up at the farm of East Handaxwood, in West Calder Parish, and near Fauldhouse, Linlithgowshire, the district which, as Bentybrae, he has sung and depicted with tenderness and fidelity. Mr Black comes of a rhyming family, one of his brothers and two of his sisters being capable of expressing their thoughts in verse. Early last century his maternal great- grandfather, James Smith, published a volume of verses, and was well known in Lanarkshire as " the quaint Wishaw poet." It is, however, to Robert Tennant, the postman poet, that Mr Black attributes the influence which moved him in the direction of the muse, and, being fond of reading, many of our standard poets won his esteem, and doubtless influenced his thoughts. When about twenty-three years of age, Mr Black com- menced to contribute to the poet's corner of various news- papers and magazines. A large number of his pieces have appeared in The Hamilton Advertiser. In enumerating books which have especially helped him, our friend humorously includes the Pronouncing Dictionary, which he carried in his pocket.

  • Notes on the History of the Catholic Mission at Linlithgow
    NOTES ON THE HISTORY OF THE CATHOLIC MISSION AT LINLITHGOW By Fr. Paul Kelly The most authoritative account of the history of the parish is William Hendrie’s St Michael’s Catholic Church, Linlithgow, 1893-1993, published on the centenary of the building of the church. The mission (as it was before it became a parish) was first dedicated to St Joseph. It was changed to St Michael in 1887, though the school, built just before the church, was dedicated to St Joseph. These notes are derived from diocesan archives at present deposited in the Scottish Catholic Archives, Columba House, in Edinburgh, and from the valuation rolls in Linlithgow Public Library. The Catholics of Linlithgow in the 1850s, as in other areas of West Lothian, were overwhelmingly Irish immigrants, who arrived in Scotland in great numbers after the Irish potato famine. They were poor and constituted indeed a church of the poor. The first priest in charge of the mission, the Rev Francis McKerrell, served from 1851-1853. His mission included Bo’ness and Bathgate. He lived in a rented house in Linlithgow Bridge. His successor, Andrew Dempsey (1853-1857) noted in his annual returns to the bishop that his charge of Linlithgow, Bo’ness and Bathgate measured twelve miles in area with a population of 1300 Catholics. At first Mass was celebrated in a hired room. Francis McKerrell remarked in August 1852 on “the urgent need of a Chapel in the Linlithgow Mission. There at present the faithful are obliged to meet for worship in a most inconvenient room, destitute we may say of all the requisites for religiously worshipping God.” The Catholic Directory for 1855 records that “Public Service” – the word ‘Mass’ would have been too provocative for the Protestant population of the time – was held every second Sunday at 9 and 11.30.
