 New! Linlithgow - Architecture and History of a Scottish Royal Burgh
Linlithgow Civic Trust has published a generously illustrated 64-page book, based on the Architectural and Historical Guide first published by the Trust in 1974, but revised and greatly expanded.
The book contains around 170 photographs, plans and other illustrations, mostly in colour and never previously published, giving a comprehensive account of the architecture and history of Linlithgow. It has been produced to a highly professional standard, with full annotations to each photograph, an original historical overview, and an index.
This publication was launched as part of "Celebrate Linlithgow" in October 2010 and is now available from local bookshops for £12 or by mail order for £13.50, including post and packing. Send a cheque for £13.50, payable to Linlithgow Civic Trust, to Jean Long, 14 Friars Way, Linlithgow, West Lothian EH49 6AX.
 Linlithgow Old & New
'Linlithgow Old and New' (cover reproduced on the right) was published by the Trust in 2002. It contains both a
photographic record of the Royal Burgh of Linlithgow at the start of the
new Millennium and an authoritative and specially written account of the
town's history.
This generously illustrated book (retail price - £15),
with well over 200 colour photographs taken by the townspeople, is an
essential addition to the bookcase of all with an interest in the town of
Linlithgow or, indeed, in the history and townscape of Scottish Royal
Burghs.
Walks around Linlithgow
 The book covers 27 walks, each of which has colour illustrations and an
Ordnance Survey based map. In addition there is a full colour toughened
pull-out map covering all the walks – useful for anyone who fancies a
day’s rambling in the fascinating countryside around the Royal Burgh.
"Walks around Linlithgow is an attractive and absorbing
book providing many interesting snippets of information on local history
and wildlife along the 27 walks. Scottish National Heritage welcomes
its launch and we are glad to support a book that aims to encourage more
people to enjoy the outdoors.” said Neville Makan, Area Officer, SNH.
Walks around Linlithgow retails at £6.00 - and ideal gift! Members can order their copy by
sending a cheque for £6, payable to "Linlithgow Civic Trust" to
