Membership

We invite individuals, organisations, businesses and statutory bodies to become Members of Pride & Passion Linlithgow.  The annual subscription is currently £5 - fill in the Membership Application Form and to send it in with your £5 subscription (or more, if you want to sponsor us).

Planned Projects

We have plenty of ideas on how to improve vistors' experience of Linlithgow.  There is 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 be used as a hub when visiting the Capital and Central Scotland.
