Abstract
THE county of West Lothian is of exceptional interest in Scottish geology, as it forms the connecting link between the two ends of the Midland Valley, and affords the most trustworthy evidence for the correlation of the dissimilar Carboniferous sequences in the western and eastern basins. The county is also of interest as the seat of the Scottish oil shale industry.
