Where to stay in Craigshill
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Craigshill is housing first, and the beds that exist sit among the streets rather than on any hotel strip. Choice is limited. Anyone booking here does it for the quick run into Livingston and for the lanes of Mid Calder, where Bank Street and Main Street hold the buildings the newer district has no equivalent of.

About Craigshill
What are the main landmarks in Craigshill?
Craigshill's landmarks stand next door. Calder House and Mid Calder Parish Church anchor the old village, while Bank Street carries a run of older addresses at numbers 21, 23 and 37 and the Main Point at 41. St Andrew's Church serves the streets nearby.
The Calder witch memorial plaque stands among them, with Brewery House at 70 Main Street and the house at 2 Pumpherston Road completing the group.
What is the history of Craigshill?
Craigshill's story is short; Mid Calder's is not. The neighbouring village held Calder House, its parish church and the street line of Bank Street long before Craigshill was laid out as a housing district of Livingston. The contrast is plain on the ground.
Two settlement ages sit side by side.
Where is Craigshill?
Craigshill occupies part of the built-up ground of Livingston, with the older village of Mid Calder and Calder House lying a short way off.
