An abandoned shopping centre in the heart of West Lothian may still be standing - but it hasn't seen shoppers in years.
The Freeport Shopping Centre near West Calder first opened back in 1996 when it was hailed as a new 'premier outlet for designer clothes' in Scotland.
However, due to a large decline in foot traffic in 2004, the centre was forced to close - and the site has been derelict ever since.

The 50,000sq ft shopping centre attracted over a million visitors in its first year and promised to extend to include more leisure facilities, like a snow centre and a golf course.
So, Edinburgh Live sent out a reporter local to West Lothian to find the abandoned centre - and take a look around.
After a long drive around trying to locate the area, we eventually spotted the clock tower peeking out from behind a large fence.
Upon arrival, signs told us that the site was under surveillance, and that there was no availability to get inside and look around the area.
A large fence stood between the reporter and the abandoned centre, with no trespassing allowed.
However, looking through the fence still gave some insight into what the place would've looked like all those years ago.
A large building with a clock face on it is the first thing you see peering through, with buildings shaped like the walls of a castle surrounding it.
Two vans were sat outside the centre, most likely belonging to the current owners of the area.
Another road into the centre was also spotted, which most likely was the exit to the shopping outlet.
However, there is no other road into the area other than the one that is fenced off - keeping all visitors out.
Keeping the infamous centre safe, and avoiding damage or vandalism is the main aim of this fence - and we can see why.
However, there are plenty of areas to visit around the area, including Five Sisters Zoo, and Livingston Designer Outlet just along the road from the old Freeport Centre.
