Note (2 February 2023)
The Fauldhouse Drill Hall was probably built just prior to the First World War and shares a common design with drill halls in Bathgate, Loanhead, Broxburn and West Calder. A indoor shooting range was constructed on the south side which is now a take away. The hall may have burnt down in the 1990s and replaced by a new flat roofed building, which is part of the Miners social club. The club has taken over remaining part of the Drill Hall fronting Bridge Street.
