In November 2008, it was announced that Armadale has
been chosen as the pilot area for the
West Lothian Healthy Weight Initiative and, as a result, it
would receive funding of £50,000 for the next three years from the
Health Improvement Fund.
The Armadale Partnership developed the programme to promote
healthy eating and physical activity in the local community. |

Bathgate Golf Club began on 12 May 1892 when 13
local men met in the Working Men's Institute reading Room and formally
established a course and a Club, which was opened on 22 June 1892 by the
Master of the Edinburgh Merchant Company. The Company owned the
ground, which they leased to the club for 9 years.
The initial nine-pole course was designed by William Park
junior of Musselburgh. Between 1904-1906, the course was increased
to 18 holes with a total length of 5,180 yards. The new course was
opened on 11 may 1907 and the first exhibition match was played by Ben
Sayers (North Berwick) and Willie Fernie (Troon), partnered by Club
members A.W. Robertson Durham and Stair A. Gillon.
In 1935, the course was developed further following
recommendations from course architect, James Braid. Although
the Club was able to negotiate a long lease of 20 years, in 1935,
World War II caused restrictions. In 1939, army huts and a
searchlight battery were erected on the sixth, seventh and eighth
holes. In 1940, tree trunks were sited on the fairways to
prevent German aircraft from landing. |
 |
| In 1979, Edinburgh Merchant Company sold the land,
which constituted the majority of the course, to the Club,
paid for by a £100 levy on each Club member, payable over five
years. In 1984, the remaining land, which housed the clubhouse
and two remaining holes, was acquired from North British Steel.
Since the 1980s, 10,000 trees have been planted around the course,
which also includes the former site of Bathgate Castle (the dowry
gift to Walter Stewart on the occasion of his marriage to Marjorie,
daughter of King Robert the Bruce).
Par of the Bathgate Golf Club course, which now measures 6,328 yards,
is 71. The course record of 58 is held by former Ryder Cup Captain
Sam Torrance
During the Club's existence, it has produced two Ryder Cup Captains,
Eric Brown and Bernard Gallacher. |
