A stone's throw from Linlithgow Palace, birthplace of Mary Queen of Scots, the building dates back to around 1500. The pub is named after the Queen's four ladies-in-waiting. Initially a dwelling house, the building has had several changes of use over the years - at one time it was a chemist's run by the Waldie family whose most famous member, David, established the anaesthetic properties of chloroform in 1847.

Platform 3

1a High Street, Linlithgow EH49 7AB

Small, friendly hostelry on the railway station approach. Originally the public bar of the hotel next door. It was purchased and renovated in 1998 as a pub in its own right, and is now closely involved with the local community. Look out for the goods train that journeys from the station above the bar with ducks waiting on a train that never comes. The pub is very much involved in the community running a number of charity events including a duck race. Three beers are available: Stewart Pentland IPA and two from other Scottish breweries. Live music includes regular folk sessions. Dogs are welcome, with biscuits 'on tap'. Licenced from 11am Live train departures and arrivals board.
