Line of Mains Burn, Linlithgow
The line of the Mains Burn prior to flood defence works was more or less along the boundary between the cut grass to the left of the path and the rougher grass nearer the hedge line. The hedge formed the edge of one of the fields of Kettlestoun Mains farm. In winter it was a favourite sledging venue. In summer, the burn provided countless ways of getting wet feet. The burn was sacrificed to protect the new housing which was built on its flood plain (!) and is now impassible to migrating fish, flowing as it does, through several hundred metres of piping. The garages are not shown on the OS map although they have been here since at least the 1950s.

Mains Burn, Linlithgow
The same section as in Image The heavy duty grating on the far bank is all that remains of the burn's meanders. Ugly or what?

Mains Burn, Linlithgow
Another example of completely unsympathetic treatment of a natural environment.Image] The burn had previously followed a meandering course from one side of the Golf Course Road to the other providing many pools containing small trout. Yet again, the demands of the house builders meant that it had to be "improved" by straightening it. One effect of this was to guarantee that any flood water would now run off much more rapidly, resulting in an increased flood risk downstream. This is surely an example of civil engineering at its very worst. It's ok if you really need anti-tank defences but as a natural habitat it leaves a lot to be desired.

Linlithgow Academy
A real 1960-ish concrete block type school building. Let us hope that the inside is more practical than the exterior is beautiful.
