Ever since its formation in 2008 Transition Linlithgow has been taking action to promote climate change education and initiatives. We will continue to tackle climate change with the community in the years ahead, now as part of the Linlithgow Community Development Trust SCIO. If you have ideas to help shape our future plans, we would love you to share them with us.
