Leven Seat

A summit in the extreme SW of West Lothian, Leven Seat is the highest of the Gladsmuir Hills, rising to 356m (1167 feet) 1½ miles (2.5 km) north of Wilsontown and 2 miles (3 km) south southeast of Fauldhouse. The hill is much denuded by the extraction of iron-stone and limestone used in the Wilsontown Ironworks. Levenseat Quarry still extracts high-quality silica sand used for water filtration, in foundries and other specialist uses.
