The Perambulation (4 miles/6.5km) takes you around what was Linlithgow’s 1832 Parliamentary boundary. The route is open to walk any time and is shown on the Visitor guide town map (pages 20-21).
See Linlithgow Events for details of the annual event.
The walk passes by seven of eight march stones (one original and seven replicas, which were installed in 2014) marking the boundary. Its route passes some 32 features of historical or architectural interest, mostly different from those on the Heritage Trail.
The Perambulation starts in front of St Ninian’s Church on Falkirk Road and proceeds clockwise along the route. This direction of travel is strongly recommended for safety reasons; visibility at road crossings and steep steps. Keep an eye out for the march stones along the route, which are inscribed ‘LPB’ (Linlithgow Parliamentary Burgh).
Full details are given in a separate leaflet, available free throughout the town, or download from Lbt.scot/perambulation/ and from the flipbook below.
