Pride and Passion Linlithgow

At a public meeting in the former Tourist Information Centre it was decided to formally constitute Pride & Passion Linlithgow as a voluntary organisation whose aim is to develop a tourism culture in Linlithgow, inspiring and engaging the community in making more of tourism, to the social and economic benefit of those living and working in the town. The newly founded organisation has lots of plans and ideas. It received an early boost in the form of financial support from Alan Steel Asset Management and from Linlithgow Grange Rotary. We hope lots of individuals, businesses, organisations and statutory bodies will become Members for the modest fee of £5 per year. If you would like to become a member or to support us please e-mail mail@linlithgow.com.

Enterprising Linlithgow

Pride & Passion Linlithgow were awarded a Commendation in the Enterprising Britain awards 2008. <more>

100,000+ visits to Linlithgow.com!

Its just over a year since linlithgow.com went live and we have now delivered more than 100,000 user sessions! Let's hope that some of them resulted in more people visiting Linlithgow, staying here longer, getting more out of their visit and to a greater appreciation of our town by those who live here or were visiting anyway. If you think it could be even better still, let us know!
