Livingston and the places nearby.

Livingston is a post-war new town built in self-contained districts, each with its own roads, schools and local centre, and it has kept growing with private estates on its southern and western edges. Residents are largely working families who commute along the M8 and shop at the big centre in Almondvale. Because people identify with their district rather than "Livingston", a website that names Dedridge, Murieston or Eliburn reads as properly local, and new-build owners with snagging and garden work to do search online first.

The nearest towns in the same council area are Broxburn (4 miles), Bathgate (5 miles) and Linlithgow (7 miles). A longer drive takes in Penicuik (12 miles), Grangemouth (12 miles), Falkirk (13 miles) and Dunfermline (13 miles). If you cover some of these and not others, the site should name the ones you do.

Within Livingston itself, we build for businesses in Almondvale, Dedridge, Craigshill, Ladywell, Knightsridge, Eliburn, Murieston and Bellsquarry.

Livingston addresses fall in the EH postcode area, about 357 miles north of Exeter, where we are based.
