Hi Monica,

You have opened up a world of information for me and I have found out that Peter Walker was in the Clydesdale Horse Society as he was breading Clydesdale horses at Tippethill Farm. I have also found obits for some of the family. Many many thanks.

Hello Becky,

I have Walker ancestors from Bathgate in the 1800's. It was a common name in the area and I do not have a link to the Walkers of Tippethill although there may well be one further back. But here are some burial records for your Walkers I obtained a few years ago from the local council Cemeteries Department  -

Whitburn Cemetery - Section / Lair g 55
Lairholder                James Walker, Farmer, Tippethill

Whitburn Cemetery - Section / Lair g 56
Lairholder                James Walker, Farmer, Tippethill
12.06.1897                Isabella Walker, age 73 years
23.04.1934                Robert Walker, age 0
 
Whitburn Cemetery - Section / Lair g 57
Lairholder                James Walker, Farmer, Tippethill

Canisp, lots of detail there  :)

Becky, not sure if you have come across geograph.org It is a growing modern photographic resource, trying to photograph every square kilometre of Britain and Ireland.

Here are a collection of photos with the 'Tippethill' ref. including one of the modern farm in the distance www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=37109522

This may be a closer shot of the farm, not sure - www.flickr.com/photos/lambo77/3915562962/

Tippethill Farm is just to the South of the hospital. :)

Monica that Flickr photo you posted seems to be elsewhere in West Lothian. It looks familiar to me somehow. It's not the Whitburn one though. It wouldn't surprise me if there is another one, as there are many farms out there with very similar or identical names.
Mitchell and Perry in N.Ireland and Scotland. McLaren and Hamilton in Scotland. Craig and Major in N.Ireland and Scotland. McIntosh and Paton in Fife.

Thanks Ian  :) I wasn't sure as I posted that it was the farm area.

Found this when browsing through West Lothian Heritage Services on Flickr and remembered this thread. A sampler by 12 year old Jeanie Walker of Tippethill in 1882. http://www.flickr.com/photos/westlopics/8184677651/in/photostream
