Thanks to talented singer Susan Boyle Blackburn's on the map
The website of the West Lothian Family History Society has a picture gallery of most of the villages including Blackburn.
http://www.wlfhs.org.uk/picgall.htmThanks to the West Lothian Council Online New Service I've learnt that this area of Scotland has several more talented singers as well as Susan. The children of Bankton Primary School Choir won the West Lothian heat of the Burns competition and are now on their way to the national final after scoring an incredible 19 out of 20 in the regional heat at Wishaw. Good Luck to Susan ... I hope she wins Britain's Got Talent and Good Luck to the school choir ... I hope you win the Burns Competition.
Visit this site and have a listen to the choir ....
