About Philpstoun
- Philpstoun sits close to the Union Canal, which was built between 1818 and 1822 to link Edinburgh with Falkirk. The canal towpath passes through the hamlet and is a popular walking and cycling route forming part of the National Cycle Network.
- The hamlet was historically associated with the shale oil industry that dominated West Lothian in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Several shale oil works operated in the surrounding area, and the distinctive red bings are still visible on the landscape.
