West Lothian Covid time capsule with children's thoughts on pandemic buried for 50 years

A time capsule recording some of thoughts of pupils about the Covid pandemic has been sealed in the walls of Whitburn's Burgh Halls.

The capsule, which will remain sealed until 2072, was put in place as the building's town clock started telling the time again for the first time in four years.

It’s a reminder that the Burgh Halls, a reflection of civic pride when it was opened in 1830, is once again becoming the centre of civic life in Whitburn as part of West Lothian council’s new Partnership.
