Loch Cote at one time provided the water supply for Bo'ness about five miles to the north. The local spelling "Cockleroi" reflects the probable French origin of the name of Linlithgow's hill, suggested as "the cockaded hat of the king" (WF Hendrie), much more accurately than the corruption to "Cockleroy" found on recent OS maps.
