Linlithgow Farmers’ Market
Last updated 15 May 2026
A compact but long-running West Lothian market held in the shadow of Linlithgow Palace, one of Scotland's most photographed historic ruins. The market draws producers from across the Forth Valley — Central Belt smallholders, Falkirk bakers, and specialist preserve makers who rarely appear at the bigger city markets. The palace grounds give it a setting that Edinburgh and Glasgow markets can't match.
