Pride & Passion Linlithgow

Linlithgow.com is brought to you by Pride & Passion Linlithgow - 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.

Projects

Pride & Passion Linlithgow has already achieved a lot and have plenty of ideas on how to further improve vistors' experience of Linlithgow.  Linlithgow has lots on offer and we aim to encourage day visitors to stay a bit longer and hope that those who do stay will extend their visit to several nights to take in all the attractions.  Linlithgow is close enough to Edinburgh, Stirling and Glasgow to serve as a hub when visiting the Capital and Central Scotland.

• Our Linlithgow.com website is a portal that links to everything a visitor needs to know about Linlithgow
• The Linlithgow Events Diary enables local organisations to publicise what's on in Linlithgow
• Working with Linlithgow Civic Trust, Linlithgow Heritage Trust and the Town Centre Management Group we have re-established and extended Linlithgow's Heritage Trail, supported by plaques on key buildings, interpretive panels and a leaflet.  An iPhone app and an audio guide are currently planned.
• We have published a Visior Information Leaflet, showing all of Linlithgow's main visitor attractions,which is distributed widely
• We have installed and maintain the Linlithgow Cross Webcam and the Linlithgow Canal Centre Webcam so that people can see Linlithgow in real time on the Internet
• We hope to publish a Town Centre Plan and Local Area Map that will help visitors to find their way around
• We aim to create several "Linlithgow VIP"s (Visitor Information Points) that can give visitors advice and information
