Bathgate sits in the heart of West Lothian, a former linen and shale-mining town whose steep main street still carries a working, unpolished energy. Locals and passers-through fuel up at one of 42 cafes before heading out on the nearby Bathgate Hills, or settle in for the evening at a handful of cosy hotels. For a sit-down meal, the town's restaurants offer a quieter, more personal alternative to bigger city dining.
