A delegation from West Lothian is to visit Hochsauerland in Germany later this year as part of celebrations to mark 50 years of twinning links.
The visit was approved at a meeting of West Lothian Council Executive following receipt of an invitation for a delegation to visit Germany this year to continue the development of the twinning partnership between Hochsauerland and West Lothian.
In August 1972, a twinning partnership agreement between the district of Arnsberg in Germany and the district of West Lothian was signed in the County Buildings, Linlithgow. After reorganisation in Germany in 1975 the area of Arnsberg joined with Brilon and Meschede to become the Hochsauerland.
