Homme Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Being Armadale born and bred and having lived in Bathgate for a few years but returned now to the Dale I feel qualified to say : Nae decent Jambo pubs Railway the closest, Fairway was ok got that bus back in the day. I like godandgorgies summary very accurate. Hard to find a pub in Armadale not full of Rangers fans. Do like the Corrie it's not too bad. Corrie is a fantastic pub. Scott the owner is a good Jambo too. The pub sees a mix of fans however with both Rangers and Airdrie Supporters buses leaving from there. When i'm not injured i play with the corrie football team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgiewave Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I know Opal. If you are asking if it's me then no I've met Opal a few times through my dad's work. The first time I couldn't understand him. Sorry Opal, if you're a kickbacker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gowestjambo Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 There used to be a Fairway hearts bus too, 80's and 90's. Still a few jambos drink in there. You are quite correct, there are loads of Jambos in Bathgate - just not one pub dedicated though. There used to be a lot of Hearts supporters in the Kaim Park.

Dallas Green Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I do like the Corrie in Armadale. Play the open mic night there on some Wednesdays. Got Jamie MacDonalds top on the wall (with a few other teams including Hibs) and a picture of the League cup winning squad from the 50's. Nice wee pub.

It's my local again as I moved from top end of Armadale to the bottom end recently but not been back in yet. Don't get out much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helzi, don't listen to him, my mum was burn further up than you are now and she was a Dale girl 100%, the railway cottages no longer there but definately Armadale, you are part of the new Armadale metropolis and no way are you Whitburn (so don't panic ), in my mind that starts around the Royal Regent.

Jaap's Sigh Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 The person living near Armadale station is definitely in Armadale. I would say Whitburn ends at the Royal Regent or the Roadhouse as I still call it. Wester Inch is definitely Bathgate even though the sign (with the penicillin reference) is closer to the Kaim Park roundabout. I'm a Whitburn lad who moved to Blackburn and spent 14 years there in the Dutch Cottages (just before Seafield). Now in Bathgate a year and enjoying it.

Jaap's Sigh Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Is that what you call the cottages opposite Redhouse farm? Yeah. As far as I'm aware they were built by Dutch miners about 100 years ago. When I first moved in it was a one bedroom cottage. Big rooms though. Over time we extended and ended up with a 3 bedroom cottage. Loved it there - good neighbours, quiet, big field at the back for our boy and a nice view of the 5 sisters. Just did as much as we could with the place and fancied a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
