Fauldhouse (Scots: Fauldhoose;[2] Scottish Gaelic: Falas)[3] is a village in West Lothian, Scotland.

At approximately 750 feet above sea level, Fauldhouse is one of the highest villages in West Lothian.

[4] Settlements and farms within Fauldhouse have existed since, at least, the Middle Ages, and was known until the 19th century by the names Falas, Fallas, Fawlhous and Falhous.

[5] The seventeenth century Dutch mapmaker Willem Blaeu features Fauldhouse as Falas on two maps in his Atlas Novus of Scotland, and there are families with the surname Fallas.

[5] However, the name may be older than the Middle Ages, and might even be derived from the Brythonic or Welsh-type language once spoken in the Lothian region.

[18][6] Those stone houses in the West End were constructed by Thomas Thornton & Co who also owned the miners shop.

[6][20] In 1908, a drill hall was built in the village and alter incorporated into the structure of the local mining institute.

Lothian Country operate bus services: The village has two primary schools, Falla Hill and St. John the Baptist RC.

[6] Designed by W & R Ingram, it consists of a chapel with corbelled belfry and spirelet above a rose window and contains several fine examples of Stained Glass.

[6] At 3.4 kilometers to the south east of Fauldhouse, overlooking the village, lies the Leven Seat hill.

[citation needed] To the south of Fauldhouse is the 18-hole Greenburn Golf Course which was founded in 1892, but has been on its present site for around 50 years.
