Architect serving Linlithgow.
Contemporary, context-sensitive design for Linlithgow.
Contemporary heritage-led design.
Linlithgow is one of Scotland’s most historically compelling towns — a place where medieval streets, lochside landscapes and rich architectural heritage come together to form a distinct and recognisable character. Linlithgow Palace and its surrounding parkland, the loch, the narrow historic High Street and the rolling farmland that frames the town all shape its identity. Designing here requires sensitivity, a deep respect for context and an understanding of how modern living can be integrated within a protected townscape.
Architect in Dundee with local roots.
At 125Architects, we bring conservation-accredited expertise and a long-standing connection to Linlithgow. Before relocating our practice to Dundee, we ran our office in Linlithgow for several years and during that time developed a strong design presence across the town. Our experience includes traditional building repair, contemporary extensions, whole-house refurbishments and work with listed buildings within the Linlithgow Conservation Area — all delivered with a focus on clarity, craft and context.
Designing in a historic landscape.
Linlithgow’s setting is both an opportunity and a responsibility. Views towards the palace, important rooflines, historic burgage plots and stone boundary walls all form an architectural language that any new project must respond to. Many areas fall within or close to Linlithgow’s Conservation Areas, and planning policy here emphasises:
Protecting key townscape vistas.
Respecting traditional massing and materials.
Enhancing streetscape character.
Improving energy efficiency without compromising heritage value.
Strengthening ecological and visual connections around Linlithgow Loch.
Our approach starts with understanding these constraints and using them creatively — ensuring that every proposal feels at home, yet forward-looking and tailored to modern life.

Recent local projects.
Over the years, we’ve completed a wide range of architectural projects across Linlithgow — from conservation-area refurbishments to contemporary extensions and new homes. These projects highlight our ability to design confidently in both historic and modern contexts, responding to Linlithgow’s varied plots, streets and landscapes.
Boghall House | Linlithgow
A reconfiguration and extension of a detached home on the rural edge of Linlithgow, designed to create an every day entrance and new home office space. A bright, generous home workspace and refined every day entrance give this home a calm, contemporary feel.
Grange View | Linlithgow
A thoughtful extension and remodel that enhances everyday family living. The design improves daylight, flow and connection to the garden, demonstrating how subtle, well-judged interventions can transform an otherwise ubiquitous suburban home.
Hilltop | Linlithgow
Sitting on an elevated plot, Hilltop required careful massing and orientation to balance privacy, sunlight and views. The completed home is crisp, modern and quietly confident in its terraced crescent position.
Clarendon Road | Linlithgow
A substantial refurbishment and extension of a semi-detached property, designed to improve flow, sustainability and family living while improving the homes connection with its garden.
Pilgrims Hill | Linlithgow
A clean-lined, design-led extension and interior refurbishment that strengthens the home’s relationship with its garden and introduces clean, modern living spaces. A pin-wheel roof configuration neatly resolves the client brief.
Friars Way | Linlithgow
A home for a retired architect, well known in the town. A refined remodelling close to the Linlithgow’s historic core, delivering bright, connected living space through a combination of subtle architecture and high-quality finishes.
