House prices across West Lothian have risen by 74% in a decade
House prices across West Lothian rose by 74% in a decade a new council survey has revealed. That outstripped the Scottish average rise of 42% in the years 2013-23. In 2023 the average house price in the county was £210,000 compared to a Scottish figure of £185,000. A report to councillors said: 'West Lothian ranks 10th of Scottish local authorities for house prices; however, it is notably cheaper than the other regions surrounding Edinburgh such as Midlothian and East Lothian, making it a more affordable option for Edinburgh based commuters.' Average house prices in West Lothian range from £229,475 in Linlithgow to £145,000 in Whitburn and Blackburn. The largest increase in house prices have been around Broxburn, Winchburgh and Livingston all of which have seen major new developments in the last 12 years. The change over the decade has been striking. The largest price increases have been in Broxburn and Livingston South wards where house prices have risen £95,000 in the ten years from 2013 to 2023. The smallest rise – £18,585- has been in Bathgate, where prices rose from an average of £128,998 to £147,595 in a decade. New homes are now at their most affordable in the Armadale and Blackridge and Whitburn and Blackburn wards at £179,000 and £145,000 respectively. In 2013 the average cost of a new home in the Whitburn ward was just £86,000. Whitburn and Blackburn is the only ward area which saw a fall in the numbers of new homes being built. Infrastructure improvement including reopened railway stations such as Armadale has helped boost housebuilding in the town along with neighbouring Blackridge where developers see potential for competitively priced homes. The former brickworks site in Armadale is one of the largest brownfield sites in the county earmarked for redevelopment. The council's Business Development Team relied on Scottish Government statistics to provide a picture of the economic and financial health of the county as the basis for its draft economic investment plan which looks to 2035.

I see conflicting Celtic transfer strategies at play and board have five weeks to get back on Brendan Rodgers' wavelength
Jacko told Hotline Live that the Parkhead hierarchy face a losing battle if they don't match their manager's ambition The Celtic board have five weeks to match Brendan Rodgers ' ambition or they could be facing a losing battle when it comes to the boss signing a new contract. Seemingly competing transfer strategies at Parkhead were discussed on Record Sport's Hotline Live tonight, and our man Keith Jackson reckons things could come to a head if Rodgers feels those above him have played it safe with signings. The champions splashed £26million on new faces last summer as Rodgers was well backed to bring in the Bhoys he wanted. Arne Engels was a club record fee with Adam Idah not far behind, while Auston Trusty wasn't exactly cheap at £6million. The trio helped deliver two trophies and crucially for Rodgers, progression in the Champions League. but not everyone is sold on the decision to spend big given what they've seen. And Keith suspects the Parkhead hierarchy have perhaps started to revert back to a more frugal policy this summer, which if it continues with Celtic having a playoff showdown to negotiate to unlock the Champions League riches this season, then this could be Rodgers' last at the helm with his deal up in the summer. "They just need to match his ambition," he said. "I don't think there's a number that Celtic need to spend above it or below it and that would change anything. "It's entirely a matter of Brendan Rodgers identifying the players he believes will make his first team stronger and Champions League ready, as far as any Scottish team can be Champions League ready. "And then Celtic's board showing the same level of ambition and commitment, going out there and getting the deals done. That's the key part. "This talk of £1.5m bids (for Go Ahead Eagles winger Jakub Breum) smacks of the first-tier transfer strategy or philosophy that we think Celtic's board might be employing this summer - which gets away from how Brendan Rodgers wants it done. "That is taking more of a risk, being prepared to pay a bigger premium and hope that you get your financial return on that. "His problem is, he spent £26m last summer and I'm not sure that any one of the three players Celtic signed would turn a profit if the board decided to sell them tomorrow. "That's where it conflicts with the well-known model that Celtic's board have employed over the years. "They went a different way last summer, but Brendan Rodgers can conversely point to the amount of money they got in through the Champions League to justify that that money was spent. "There's a lot of potential in Arne Engels, same with Adam Idah but he has a lot to prove this season. Aaron Trusty could have a big season, and Brendan Rodgers has proven he can improve players if he's given time to work with them. "But these are ones that count against the Brendan Rodgers model. "We now have five weeks until the end of the transfer window, and these will be five make-or-break weeks in terms of Brendan Rodgers and his relationship with the Celtic board. Not so much personal relationship, but his working relationship. "They will have to show signs before the end of this transfer window that they are prepared to match his ambition. If they don't do that, then persuading Brendan Rodgers to commit for the longer haul is going to be difficult."

New funding to resolve gender 'injustice' in Scottish golf
Scotland's most decorated female golfer, Catriona Matthew, played a key role in advising both the foundation and Scottish Golf on bringing the programme to fruition. Read more: "Experience has taught me that making that step from the top of the amateur game into the professional ranks can be tough a transition," Ms Matthew said. "We all want to see more Scots competing at the top of the women's game and this programme is designed to help bridge the gap for young professionals. "I know from captaining both Lorna and Hannah in last year's Curtis Cup that they are players with a bright future, and we all want to help them reach their full potential. By putting in place this programme and laying down strong foundations of support, my sincere hope is that many more aspiring Scottish players will follow Hannah and Lorna and benefit in the years ahead." The new programme comes on the back of Scottish Golf being able to send squads out to the Bahamas over the past two years through receiving support from the Sean Connery Foundation, which was established in 2020 to reflect the James Bond actor's passions and guiding principles. Read more: "He always wanted to champion talented people who couldn't otherwise get a break, backing excellence in need," his son Stephane Connery said. "Sean greatly admired the women's game, and he saw an injustice in how little attention it got in comparison to the men's." As part of Scottish Golf's broader "Women and Girls Strategy", a separate three-year fund is being established to support employment by its member clubs of full or part-time dedicated to growing and retaining female membership. Clubs looking to welcome more women and girls, and those seeking to build momentum and growth in female participation, will be eligible for support. The phased investment from the fund will be matched by the clubs. A further "Club Education Fund" targeted specifically at the female workforce is being established to upskill and retain employees within golf. Its ambition is to get more women into leadership, managerial and key decision-making positions within clubs.
