Murieston

Murieston (From Muir (moor) of Houstoun) is a district on the southern edge of Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland. The district lies on both sides of Murieston Water which is flanked by public parkland. The A71 road forms the northern boundary of the district which is notable for having a very good primary school. Most of the housing is owned privately and the majority are three-, four- or five-bedroomed detached properties. Livingston South train station, on the line connecting Edinburgh and Glasgow Central, is located in Murieston. There are a small number of shops and restaurants at Bankton Retail Centre, adjacent to the train station. A limited bus service links Murieston to the town centre only.
