The first Liberal Democrat councillor to take up a seat on West Lothian Council has said she is looking forward to fighting for local residents.
Sally Pattle will take up her seat after a nail-biting contest which saw the Tory favourite eased off the leader board early - and she admitted the tension had been so unbearable she hadn't been able to watch the final moments of the count.
The result meant Linlithgow elected its first Lib-Dem representative since the days of Lothian Regional Council. There has been a strong Lib Dem organisation in the town which has actively contested elections at all levels.
