Kirknewton in West Lothian, Scotland is a small conservation village set in rolling farmland on the western approaches to Edinburgh, with the Pentland Hills nearby. It retains a traditional stone-built core and a quiet rural character while being within commuting distance of neighbouring towns such as Livingston.
The village is probably best known locally for the nearby RAF Kirknewton airfield, a former Royal Air Force station that remains a Ministry of Defence site, and for its long history as a parish community centred on the church and village hall. Today Kirknewton blends agriculture and residential life, with many residents working in nearby towns or in Edinburgh, and a programme of community events and local groups that keep village life active.
