Five Sisters Bing, West Lothian 18225 238 West Lothian The FIve Sisters Bing, also known as the Westwood Bing is located near West Calder in West Lothian. Bings were used between 1851 and 1963 to discard remnants of shale. Unlike other bings, the FIve Sisters Bing was built by machines, reducing manual labour greatly. Shale was brought to the centre of the bings by a conveyor belt, where it was transferred into large trucks on rails. The rails would lead up to the top of the bing where the shale would be disposed of over the other side. The outer two bings were formed at the beginning of WWII, and then in the early 50s the rails were removed and tipping occurred between the two bings, forming the inner three. The Five Sisters Bing supports more vegetation than most other bings (thought to be due to the shale being more finely graded). Taken by David Palmar. 15 July 2023
