Shoemakers' Land or Cordiners' Building, 123-125 High Street, early 18th century
Handsome, substantial mansion, restored, 1975, by Gordon Duncan Somerville. The crest of the cordiners, inset into the façade, recalls how Linlithgow was second only to Perth for tanning and shoemaking. The building would be further enhanced by restoration of its original lime harl. No 129 High Street, is an early Victorian town house with outbuildings behind; now in use as offices. Note the oak-leaf, symbol of the tanners, carved above the door.
