Addiewell is a small former mining village in West Lothian, Scotland, sitting in the Central Belt close to West Calder and Livingston. It grew up in the 19th century around coal and shale‑oil industries, and fragments of that industrial heritage and the traditional miners’ housing still shape the village layout.
Today Addiewell is a quiet, close‑knit community where many people commute to nearby towns, and the modern, privately run prison HMP Addiewell, opened in 2008, is one of the larger local employers. The village retains a distinctive industrial-era character but also offers easy access to surrounding countryside and local community groups and facilities.
