Retro photos show West Lothian town built as 'city of the future' in 1970s

Throwback images have captured the early days of a West Lothian new town in the 1970s and '80s.

Craigshill was the first part of Livingston to be developed in 1966 as post-war new towns were being built across Scotland to ease overcrowding in the likes of Glasgow and Edinburgh.

In images posted on YouTube, residents can be seen taking a stroll through the town with one shot showing a group of people near the Craighill shopping mall, looking across to the former Craigshill High School.
