List of King George V Playing Fields (West Lothian)

KGVF|header=West Lothian|rows=Expand list|date=August 2008There is a King George V playing field located at the end of Farquhar Terrace, South Queensferry. I believe there is another, located, off Mayfield Drive, Armadale, West Lothian, I seem to remember it from my days as an evacuee during W.W.2.

The one at South Queensferry has the Lion Rampant and Union Jack on the right hand gate post, and a unicorn and Queensfery's coat of arms on the left gate post (the unicorn being the symbol of a Royal Burgh, which Queensferry was, before being absorbed as part of Edinburgh during regionalisation.

I suspect there are many others throughout Scotland
