SCOTTISH SHALE

SCOTTISH SHALE



SCOTTISH SHALE









THE PIONEERING INDUSTRY THAT SHAPED WEST LOTHIAN, AND CHANGED THE WORLD.

James "Paraffin" Young's Bathgate works were perhaps the first in the world to
produce refined mineral oils on a commercial scale. From this pioneering
enterprise extended an oil industry, centred in West Lothian, that successfully
competed against cheaper imported petroleum for almost a century. This fierce
competition bred innovation, resilience, and a body of Scots know-how that
contributed greatly towards the development of oil industries throughout the
world.

This website is being developed to celebrate, exchange knowledge, and encourage
research into this special heritage. Many of these on-line resources are
associated with on our museum collection, which is recognised as being of
national importance to Scotland.
