Uphall is 30 miles from Glasgow and 14 miles from Edinburgh in the Scotland Scottish lowlands. Uphall has a public golf course and a selection of public houses including The Oatridge Hotel, The Dovehill Arms, Houston House Hotel. Until the second half of the 19th century Uphall and its neighbour, Broxburn, were small rural communities. The discovery and exploitation of local oil shale triggered massive growth as many people moved to the area to gain employment in the oil shale mines and associated shale oil oil works . Surrounding villages expanded rapidly as rows of miners cottages were erected to accommodate the influx of people, most of whom came in search of money from Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland. This boom continued until the oil industry went into terminal decline in the 1920s and only post war industrial development at Greendykes and East Mains Industrial Estates, coupled with new employment throughout the WestLothian district and increased commuting to Edinburgh, helped to offset the depression that followed.

Blackridge is a small town located in the western part of WestLothian , Scotland . The village name dates to 1581, first recorded as Blakrig. Later, Blackrig and then Blackrigg became the standard spelling until Blackridge became the norm in official documents after about 1840. Blackrig remains the local pronunciation. The modern village dates from the building of the new Edinburgh Glasgow road in 1796 and the erection of a coaching inn at the mid point between the cities, officially Westcraigs Inn but known locally as the Craig Inn. The inn now serves as housing, a community centre and library . Industry After the arrival of the railway line linking Airdrie, North Lanarkshire Airdrie and Bathgate in 1862, the exploitation of local coal reserves became more practicable although it was not until the late 1880s that the first local colliery was sunk at Westrigg. The village grew from a population of under 200 to over 2,000 by World War I with coal mining and whinstone quarrying the main employments. The last colliery closed in the late 1950s and Blackridge became a dormitory for nearby towns with, for much of the 1960s and 1970s, the British Leyland truck and tractor assembly plant at Bathgate the principal employer. Housing The building of council housing from the late 1920s until the late 1960s established the modern village with 85 of residents renting from the local authority . Small scale private house building in the 1980s gave way to more substantial developments in the 1990s and early 21st century and the current local plan visualises a doubling of the number of dwellings to around 1,500 by the early 2010s.
