The West Lothian area has been extensively mined for a variety of minerals and metals, so much that parts of the county appear to be hollow!
Nickel ore has been mined in Scotland to a small extent, locally from the Hilderston mine in the Bathgate Hills and also to a larger extent at the Talnotry Nickel Mine near Newton Stewart.
Forestry work has been ongoing since the storms in January, and some areas are cordoned off.
Please respect the notices and do not enter areas which have been restricted.
Thanks to the Beecraigs Country Park Rangers for allowing these caches to be placed.
