Abstract:		 A level 2 standing building survey was conducted on a boundary wall enclosing a proposed development site on Avon Place, Linlithgow. The site had been previously used as a coal siding by the Edinburgh to Glasgow Railway. A survey of the wall confirmed it to be constructed of random rubble build using both rough dressed sandstone and whinestone boulders. The wall incorporated three blocked doorways two of which are probably 18th-century or earlier in date. One doorway incorporates brickwork and re-used sections of railway as a lintel. The wall has been much repaired over the years and has been rebuilt in the recent past at the east end. Local tradition states that it was through a boundary opening somewhere in the vicinity of the proposed development site that Hamilton of Bothwellhaugh escaped after the assignation of Regent Moray in 1570. Tradition states that a lintel had been removed in advance from a boundary wall to allow the swift exit of horse and rider. No archaeological evidence relating to this event was present within the section of wall examined.
