Looking west along West Calder Main Street
Nobody is ever going to exclaim over West Calder's picturesque beauty, but it's a serviceable village with an interesting roof line. The boarded-up shop front just beyond the silver car used to be a newsagent's, and is now a private house.

Buildings at the back of Scotmid, West Calder
West Calder has an interesting layout, with private houses and allotments coming right up to the back of the supermarket - it's not big enough to have any transitional zones.

Central plaza, West Calder
View across the central plaza from beside the town clock, looking towards Scotmid. Somewhere behind the shops is a householder who keeps free-ranging peacocks who can sometimes be seen stalking across the plaza, or even going into Scotmid and nicking bread rolls.
