[edit] John Newland
The link to John Newland links to that of an actor of the same name. Does anyone feel like writing a short bio of the Bathgate John Newland? Preacherdoc 00:56, 7 July 2006 (UTC)Preacherdoc.
[edit] Bathgate History
Some clarification on the derivation of the name Bathgate would be desirable: "Bathgate derives its name from Batket, meaning "house in the wood" - is there a valid reference source for this information?
Additionally, the existence of Bathgate's "castle" and it's historic links with Robert the Bruce have no noted reference source, without such a verifiable reference, surely that's hearsay?
Most of the Bathgate stub appears to have been lifted from the Undiscovered Scotland website: http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/bathgate/bathgate/index.html Undiscovered Scotland also neglect to source their references and therefore cannot claim to be a valid source of information.
