East Whitburn Gothenburg
The Goth in East Whitburn seems a lot younger than the time of the Gothenburgs - public houses as social centres. These were common in mining communities and usually date to the early 20th century. I expect this is built on the site of an older building.

Old Railway Bridge near M8
I had originally assumed, wrongly, that this bridge was built to allow continued passage of an old road or farm track. Old OS maps though, going back to the earliest 1850s one, show that it was actually there to allow a mill lade, or race, to flow uninterrupted to Redmill corn and barley mill - it looks a bit oversized for its purpose to me, but I suppose they didn't do things by halves back then.
Redmill is now the name of the Eastern part of East Whitburn but originally the mill was all that was there.
It didn't provide me with any further information, but an interesting discovery while trying to find out more about the mill, was the existence of an old publication called 'Slater's Royal National Commercial Directory of Scotland'. This was published annually between the late 1700s and early 1900s and apparently changed its name occasionally over the years. It was basically a Yellow Pages without phone numbers. It also doesn't bother with addresses either, a village name was obviously deemed quite sufficient back then! It could be a handy resource nevertheless, and it can be viewed online at the National Library of Scotland site.
