From the "Heartlands" to Shotts. A nine mile description of what is & was around me as I drive to the town of Shotts. #localhistory #whatshappeningaroundme

As I drive to the town of Shotts, I begin describing what's happening to my left and right, beginning with the new "Heartlands" development at the town of Whitburn, then through a wee bit of industrial history of Harthill, Benhar, Calderhead, and Shotts. #local #history #industry #mining #coal #new #developments
