Bathgate
The town of Bathgate is located in Scotland's West Lothian. It's found close to the M8 motorway, 5 miles to the west of Livingston. As recorded in the 2011 Census, Bathgate has a permanent resident population of around 20,363. The town is to the south of the ancient Neolithic burial site at Carnipapple Hill, and there's evidence of settlements at Bathgate from around 3500 BC. Bathgate was an industrial town through the industrial age. It was the home of Menzies' Foundry and British Leyland. There were two train stations through this time - Bathgate North and Bathgate South. A link from one station to the other was built for the coal mining industries as well as the foundries. Only 1 railway still exists, the Bathgate Railway Station, which has regular trains to Edinburgh and Glasgow. Due to the closure of a lot of the industries in West Lothian by the middle of the 20th century, the town was part of a Special Development Area, which led to the town's necessary redevelopment. The residents of Bathgate appreciate a wide array of shops, which are significant contributors to the local economy. Opened in the late 19th century, the Co-operative halls historically served the community, being the home to a bakery, a butchers, a funeral parlour, grocery, clothing and furniture stores, as well as a dance hall. Despite its closure in the 1980s, there's a range of local and commercial chain stores. Bathgate has been home to a number of notable individuals, such as Sir James Young Simpson, a medical doctor who experimented with chloroform and discovered that it had anaesthetic qualities that may be made use of through childbirth, and David Tennant, a famous British actor.
