West Calder history
Early evidence of settlement in the area of West Calder is indicated by the presence of Castle Greg, an Roman fortlet to the south-east of the village in neighboring Harburn. In the medieval period, the area was part of Calder Comitis, a large parish under ownership by the Earls of Fife. By 1643, the large parish was divided into two districts, named Mid Calder and West Calder. West Calder became an important centre of the oil shale industry during the Victorian era.
Burngrange Disaster
Burngrange, an area west of the village, was the site of a mining disaster in January 1947. At the northeast corner of Union Square in the village there is a pedimented memorial clock in memory of the 15 men who died in the disaster.
