Linlithgowshire (UK Parliament constituency)

Linlithgowshire was a constituency of the House of Commons of the Parliament of the United Kingdom from 1708 to 1945, when its name was changed to West Lothian. As such it gave its name to the West Lothian Question.

The name reverted to Linlithgow from 1983. The constituency was largely replaced by Linlithgow and East Falkirk for the 2005 general election, with the remainder of the constituency joining Livingston.

The Scottish Parliament constituency of Linlithgow was created in 1999 with the same boundaries as the UK Parliament constituency.
