Broxburn history

---

The village that later became Broxburn probably originated around 1350. Margery le Cheyne inherited the eastern half of the Barony of Strathbrock on the death of her father. The hamlet that grew up around her residence was then called Eastertoun (eastern town) after the land on which it stood.

Broxburn etymology

The name Broxburn is a corruption of “brock’s burn”, brock being an old Scots name for a badger from the Gaelic broc and burn being a Scots word for a large stream or small river. The village was earlier known as Easter Strathbrock.
