Linlithgow Trade Guilds! he couldn't practise his trade in the burgh unless he was a member of the Wrights & he couldn't join a guild until he first became a burgess. Check what records there are for both.

Jean, Glasgow & Edinburgh's trades have been published, this is what's available for Linlithgow,

It would be good if you could find a connection to Andrew Meikle, the wright who invented the threshing machine but he was East Lothian.
