Linlithgow Life and Times

Whether you are a Black Bitch, an incomer or a visitor, this book has much to tell you about the picturesque West Lothian town of Linlithgow. It is steeped in history - James IV had a vision in St Michael's Church before he marched off to Flodden; Mary Queen of Scots was born here; James Stuart was assassinated in the High Street; and Bonnie Prince Charlie stayed here with his army in 1746. But Linlithgow is not simply a historical footnote - it is today home to a vibrant and dynamic population, and hosts an array of clubs and societies. In Linlithgow Life and Times, Wallace Lockhart looks at the unique qualities of the town, and tells why he is proud to call himself an honorary Black Bitch. For visitors, this book will provide places of interest to visit and explore, while for locals it offers a chance to reflect on what makes Linlithgow such a great place - and perhaps learn a thing or two about their own town!
