LINLITHGOW-BRIDGE, a village, partly in the parish of Linlithgow and county of Linlithgow, and partly in the parish of Muiravonside, county of Stirling, 1 mile (W.) from the town of Linlithgow; containing 633 inhabitants. It is situated on the Avon, on the high road from Linlithgow to Falkirk; and is distinguished for a battle, fought in 1526, between the faction of the Earl of Angus, who had possession of the person of James V., then a minor, and the party who sought his deliverance from the influence of the Douglases: the conflict took place close to the village, which has given its name to the engagement. The present bridge was built by Alexander, Earl of Linlithgow, about the year 1650, as appears by a grant of its customs to Earl George, by Charles II., in 1677- Near the village are the Avonfield print-works and a paper-mill, at both of which a great many hands are employed. There is a subscription library in the village.
