Kirkton, Livingston

Much of the area of Kirkton belonged to the estate of nearby Charlesfield House, dating to 1795 and demolished in the early 20th century.

[3] The estate passed to his son, Captain William Hardy, an officer in the East India Company who died in 1824.

The Kirkton weir is a two-metre-high structure originally built to power the nearby mill in Livingston village that was altered in 2017 to include a fish pass.
