Limefield Falls

Information

The weir was built by James Young, the pioneer of the oil shale industry working across West Lothian. It is unique in that the weir (which creates the falls) was not intended to generate power from the falling water, rather it was built to honour David Livingstone and his explorations across the African continent. It was designed to be a mini Victoria Falls.
