Free Linlithgow Events Guide
Every household in Linlithgow will receive a free copy of the Linlithgow Events Guide, sponsored by Stewart Electrical and supported by West Lothian Council, covering local events from April to September 2009. A total of 50,000 copies will be distributed far and wide and a second edition will be issued in September covering October 2009 to March 2010.
