[1] Just after midnight on Tuesday 25 June 1940 a bomb fell on the coach house and stables, killing Mrs Maria Fleming and her granddaughter Margaret, aged 10.
These were the first civilians to be killed on the Scottish mainland and West Lothian's only deaths by bombing in World War II.
Livingston, one of Scotland's post-war new towns, was developed around the estate in the 1960s, with the grounds to the south of the house remaining open as a park.
The house was bought by Livingston Development Corporation for use as a community centre, supported by the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust.
In 2009, the centre was extensively refurbished by architects Nicoll Russell Studios.
