The Trust’s main activity is the operation and development of Almond Valley Heritage Centre (popularly known simply as “Almond Valley”). a 23 acre site centred around the historic buildings of Livingston Mill and Farm. Since its formation in 1990, the Trust has steadily added to the facilities and attractions of the Almond Valley site, progressively developing its popular appeal as a leisure destination that holds particular appeal to families with young children. Admission charges and other visitor services, such as catering, rides and gift sales, provide the Trust’s major source of revenue income. While enjoying a relaxing family day out at Almond Valley, visitors encounter experiences that promote awareness of local identity and may inspire interest in local heritage from an early age. The museum displays of the shale oil museum form part of Almond Valley’s appeal and provide a venue for families to meaningfully engage and connect with our heritage.
Objectives: To advance arts, heritage, culture and science by safeguarding and celebrating the heritage and environment of West Lothian. To preserve the heritage of Scotland’s shale oil industry by holding collections and engaging in other museum activities that reflect the national and international significance of the industry. To advance education and promote community well-being through activities that support popular engagement in heritage.
