Linlithgow is a royal burgh in West Lothian, Scotland. It is West Lothian's county town, reflected in the county's alternative name of Linlithgowshire. An ancient town, it lies south of its two most prominent landmarks: Linlithgow Palace and Linlithgow Loch, and north of the Union Canal. Linlithgow's patron saint is Saint Michael and its motto is St. Michael is kinde to straingers. A statue of the saint holding the burgh coat of arms stands on the High Street.
Linlithgow is located in the north-east of West Lothian, close to the border with Stirlingshire. It lies 20 miles (30 km) west of Edinburgh along the main railway route to Glasgow. Before the construction of the M8 & M9 motorways and the opening of the Forth Road Bridge, the town lay on the main road from Edinburgh to Stirling, Perth and Inverness while the canal system linked the burgh to Edinburgh and Glasgow. The nearby village of Blackness once served as the burgh's port. Linlithgow is overlooked by its local hill, Cockleroi.
The chief historic attraction of Linlithgow is the remains of Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of James V and Mary, Queen of Scots, and probably Scotland's finest surviving late medieval secular building. The present palace was started (on an older site) in 1424 by James I of Scotland. It was burnt in 1746, and, whilst unroofed, it is still largely complete in terms of its apartments (though very few of the original furnishings survived). Linlithgow was also the site of the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge at the western edge of the town. The bridge no longer stands. The roadway to Linlithgow over the River Avon is described by scholars as a lifted road.
The town has a generally east-west orientation and is centred on what used to be the main Edinburgh-Stirling road; this now forms the main thoroughfare called the High Street. Plots of farmed land, known as rigs, ran perpendicular to the High Street and comprised much of the town's development until the 19th century. Growth was restricted to the north by Linlithgow Loch, and by the steep hill to the south, but, in the late 19th & early 20th centuries, development began to take place much further south of the High Street. In the late 20th century, demand for housing saw many residential developments take place much further south, as well as spreading into new areas.
This southward development was bisected by the Union Canal and latterly the main Edinburgh-Glasgow railway line, and today the limited crossings of both cause problems with modern traffic as there are only three places where each can be crossed in the town.
To the west, Linlithgow Bridge used to be a somewhat distinct village with its own identity, but in the latter half of the 20th century it was enveloped in the expansion of the main town and today the distinction between them is hard to make out.

Tour Scotland wee video of old photographs of Linlithgow in West Lothian. The chief historic attraction of Linlithgow is the remains of Linlithgow Palace, the birthplace of King James V and Mary Queen of Scots, and probably Scotland's finest surviving late medieval secular building. The present palace was started, on an older site, in 1424 by King James I of Scotland. It was burnt in 1746. Linlithgow was also the site of the Battle of Linlithgow Bridge at the western edge of the town. Besides the palace, a second attraction, standing adjacent, is 15th century St. Michael's Church. Many historic buildings line the High Street. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day.

St Magdalene distillery, Linlithgow, Scotland
Video impression of former St Magdalene distillery, in the town of Linlithgow, west of Edinburgh in Scotland.
Originally founded in 1795, this lowland distillery was closed in 1983 and later tuned into apartments. Surely every whisky lover dream to actually live in a distillery...
The whisky produced at St. Magdalene is very rare these days and also know under the name Linlithgow. There are some bottlings still around, mostly by independent bottlers, but they don't come cheap.
