Rising to 278m, Cockleroy Hill features a trig point and offers breathtaking 360-degree views. It's located west of Beecraigs Country Park and stands as a prominent high point that can be included in a loop around the area. It was once a hillfort and its strategic position becomes clear when you reach the summit

Easy stroll along the canal

Excellent coffee made from really friendly helpful staff. Served me while they were shutting up for the day. Thanks.

The palace was one of the principal residences of the monarchs of Scotland in the 15th and 16th centuries. Although maintained after Scotland's monarchs left for England in 1603, the palace was little used, and was burned out in 1746. It is now a visitor attraction in the care of Historic Environment Scotland.

Parking is available near the Palace. The idyllic town offers enough opportunities for a stop after the visit.

Linlithgow Palace lies roofless and ruined but you can see how it was once an amazing royal palace. Work began to build the palace in 1424 when James 1st ordered a pleasure palace to replace the fire damaged older residence. The Royals used it as a rest stop and nursery as they travelled between Edinburgh and Stirling. It didn't last long though once the royals moved to London in 1603 it fell into disrepair and was finished by a huge fire in 1746. Today the site is managed by Historic Scotland. You can visit some of the castle and have a look around. The run around the loch gives great views from all angles.

Linlithgow Loch is a shallow freshwater loch which is interesting as an example of how lakes can adapt to eutrophication. Over the years high levels of agricultural runoff has entered the loch creating algal blooms. It's now a SSSI as a lowland eutrophic loch which supports representative examples of aquatic and emergent plant communities. There is a nice trail around the loch to run with great views of the castle.

Converted cattle shed with 3 large arched windows serving local produce on an international menu. Food was lovely 🥰 pricier than a normal coffee stop but well worth it
