Bathville now forms a section of Armadale in West Lothian, located a half-mile (1 km) south of the town centre and 2 miles (3 km) north of Whitburn. In the mid-19th century Bathville comprised only a farm-steading, a coal pit and a row of houses. Today, in addition to housing, there is a business park here.
