Avoids busy A-roads.

This is a really good climb out of Linlithgow up to Beecraigs. One of the classic Bathgate Alp climbs, nice and long with a couple of switchbacks.

I’d say this is actually one of the harder climbs in the Bathgate Alps, it just keeps going up with very little let up. You think it’s going to end but nope, it just keeps going. It can be one of the busier ones with traffic as well so keep that in mind. I often avoid this one!

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.

Cairnpapple Hill is a hill in West Lothian, Scotland. It is a significant archaeological site, as it contains a number of prehistoric monuments, including a henge, a timber circle, and a Bronze Age cist grave.

Another good Bathgate Alp - decent surface and a good view of Ballencrief Reservoir.
