Kingscavil history

---

Kingscavil was granted to Sir James Douglas during King Robert the Bruce’s resettlement plans. Sandstone quarried from the quarry was used to construct Linlithgow Palace. The village became a hub for shale oil extraction in the 1930s when the industry collapsed. The majority of the new village was demolished following an inquiry into sanitary conditions in the new housing.
