About Dechmont
- Dechmont Law is the site of the 1979 encounter reported by forestry worker Robert Taylor, who claimed to have been attacked by a spherical object and smaller spiked devices on the hillside. The case was investigated by Lothian and Borders Police as an assault — the only time in UK history that a UFO incident was treated as a criminal matter — and remains unexplained.
- The village sits close to the M8 motorway at Junction 3, giving residents fast access to both Edinburgh city centre and Glasgow in under 40 minutes, making it a popular location for central belt commuters.
- Edinburgh Airport is approximately 12 minutes by road from Dechmont, making the village an ideal location for early-morning flight transfers without the need to travel through Edinburgh city centre.
- The Almond Valley Heritage Centre, a short drive from Dechmont, tells the story of West Lothian's shale oil industry through interactive exhibits and a working farm, and is one of the most visited family attractions in the county.
