Publication Account (2000)
To the west of the town stands Linlithgow Bridge. Built in the mid seventeenth century, it is a bridge of a single segmental arch without ribs. Although it has since been widened on either side, it retains much of its original character; and is testimony to the importance of this crossing over the Avon, on the significant route from Edinburgh to Stirling.
