The local landmark: The Five Sisters shale bing, five red peaks left behind by the shale oil industry, dominates the skyline near West Calder.
On the ground: Stone terraces in the old mining villages, newer estates in Polbeth, and scattered farms reached by narrow rural lanes. Kerbside works well here: have everything at the door and the driver loads.
While you wait for the van: Addiewell grew up around James 'Paraffin' Young's oil works, one of the largest in the world in the 1870s, refining oil from shale decades before the modern petroleum industry.
