A Very Short Tributary of the River Almond
Image: © Ian Dodds Taken: 3 May 2021
This very short stream emerges, in a bit of a torrent, from underneath a track in Almond Park, a decent sized area of countryside in between the River Almond and the Livingston area of Craigshill. The stream was obviously re-routed during the construction of Livingston New Town, as a 1950s OS map shows it continuing a mile or so North. It is first discernable near a farm called Letham, that was located in what is currently called Craigshill North. A primary school in Craigshill is called Letham.
