Overview

This circular town walk follows the route of the Parliamentary Boundary of the Royal Burgh of Linlithgow. The Boundary is marked by eight March Stones (one original & seven replicas), inscribed 'LPB' (Linlithgow Parliamentary Burgh).

Linlithgow is steeped in history & along the way we will pass Linlithgow Loch & Palace, St Michael's Church with its newly restored golden spire, Union Canal & the Canal Basin, the remains of the Carmelite Friary & Tim Chalk's sculpture of an old local character, Katie Wearie.
