Location
The West Lothian town of Bathgate is located North of the M8 motorway, approximately five miles West of Livingston and twenty five miles West of Edinburgh. Bathgate has benefitted from an increased population due to the substantial residential development which has been undertaken at Wester Inch on the Southern side of the town. The railway station in the town was also relocated and parking provision considerably increased which has helped to increase the popularity of Bathgate as a commuter town.
The subjects themselves are situated on the corner of South Bridge Street at its junction with George Place and Whitburn Road. South Bridge Street is one of the main retail areas of Bathgate with nearby occupiers including Bathgate Bargain Stores, Dnisi Café and Baguette Express.
