About East Calder

  • Almondell and Calderwood Country Park, which borders East Calder, covers over 220 acres of woodland, riverside paths, and meadows along the River Almond. It is one of the most popular country parks in West Lothian and is managed by West Lothian Council.
  • Calder House, a historic mansion near the village, was once visited by John Knox during the Scottish Reformation and has connections to the Sandilands family, who were prominent figures in sixteenth-century Scottish religious and political life.
  • East Calder sits on the edge of the Livingston urban area but retains a distinct village character, with older stone-built properties along the main street contrasting with newer residential developments on the village periphery.
  • The Almond Valley Heritage Centre, close to the village, tells the story of West Lothian's shale oil industry — once one of the most significant industrial enterprises in Scotland — through interactive exhibits, a working farm, and a narrow-gauge railway.
