Travelling between Edinburgh and Glasgow, by train, I've often noticed a monument on a distant hill, towards the Forth.
It's a substantial looking stone tower, on the top of a hill, maybe 10 miles west of Corstorphine Hill.
Any ideas?

What's that monument?

Hi Hibee,
Is it the folly tower in the estate of "The Binns", which can be seen a minute or two before you reach Linlithgow Station from the Edinburgh side.

All the best,

Thanks, Andrew.
I guess that answers my West Lothian question.
