Update, June 2011
The Miner's Welfare building, a former cinema suffered a minor fire in 1985 and was totally destroyed by another more serious fire on 27th June 2011. Sadly, all that's left is the front facade. (many thanks to Andrew MacKinnon for the update)

King George V Playing Fields, Whitburn
The playing fields were opened in 1955 by Queen Elizabeth II, in a memorial to King George V. There are 471 other playing fields that are part of the memorial. There was a cinder running track on the lower level with a football pitch in the middle, but is now one large piece or grass. The cinder track was never properly maintained and due to the fact it was below the water table, was very muddy, and still is when the local youth football teams use the pitches. The upper level has two football pitches and is also used for the galaday sports and marching arena during the fourth Saturday of June.

Traffic Monitoring Camera, M8 - Whitburn West
If you go to the Traffic Scotland website you can view the M8 motorway at 34 locations - this averages out at about one every two miles. This one is named Whitburn West and the images update every five minutes or so, though there's not much to see when it's dark as this section has no streetlights. I'd rather hoped some night-time technology was utilised so you could see more than the occasional vehicle light, but presumably in winter rush-hour there are so many lights it is obvious the traffic is slow.
I also wondered why they don't just put all the cameras on bridges to save money but there are a number of possible reasons I suppose - ease of maintenance, better vantage points, and ease of laying cables. Online searches, unsurprisingly, just come up with umpteen sites advising motorists on how to spot speed cameras though!
