Broxburn
Broxburn is a town in West Lothian, Scotland. It's approximately 12 miles (19 kilometres) west of Edinburgh on the A8 road, five miles (8 km) from Edinburgh Airport, and to the north of Livingston. The village which later became Broxburn probably originated about 1350 when Margery le Cheyne inherited the east half of the Barony of Strathbrock (Easter Strathbrock) on the death of her father, Sir Reginald le Cheyne III. The hamlet that developed around her residence was then called Eastertoun (eastern town) because of the land on which it stood. As noted in population estimates made in 2006, the town has a permanent resident population of 14,100, which is a significant increase from the around 12,900 residents recorded in the 2001 Census. Broxburn now has 2 separate industrial areas, the Greendykes Industrial Estate and the East Mains Industrial Estate, which employ local residents. The largest employers are Campbells Prime Meat Limited, Glenmorangie and Broxburn Bottlers Limited (part of Ian Macleod Distillers Ltd). The national headquarters of Kwik-Fit, the automotive repair company, are also located in Broxburn. The Union Canal goes through Broxburn. It is no longer operational as a transport link, but is now utilised for fishing and leisure boating. It features a towpath previously used by the horses which drew canal barges and which is now used as a footpath. Broxburn hosts the junior football club Broxburn Athletic. There are sports and health facilities publicly accessible, such as a sports centre, library, swimming pool and bowling clubs.
