Ballencrieff is a settlement in West Lothian, Scotland, situated equidistant between the towns of Bathgate and Torphichen and seven miles south of Linlithgow.
Ballencrieff is very close to the Neolithic burial site at Cairnpapple Hill, and the surrounding area shows signs of habitation since about 3500 BC.
The name Ballencrieff comes from the Scottish Gaelic Baile na Craoibhe meaning "Farm by the tree".
In 1599, on 25 January, Alexander Hamilton became the first Baron of Ballencrieff (and his wife Christine the Baroness), by Crown Charter from King James VI.
In addition, tourists are also attracted by West Lothian's famous Standing Stones monuments, which surround Ballencrieff.
