One of Bathgate’s best known landmarks is set to disappear.
The famous totem pole at Kirkton Park is now starting to rot and locals fear it could become a hazard .
The impressive structure was created in 2012 after fundraising by Friends of Kirkton Park from a tree that has been badly damaged in storms the year before.
Stuart MacDonald, chair of the group at the time said it's unlikely to be replaced.
He said: “We love the totem pole and it’s a real shame but we’re got to think about health and safety.”
