East Calder is a village located in West Lothian, Scotland, about one mile (1.5 kilometres) east of Mid Calder and one mile (1.5 kilometres) west of Wilkieston. It forms part of 'the Calders (together with Mid and West Calder), three small neighbouring communities situated west of Edinburgh and south of the "New Town" of Livingston. Its fast growth rate in the early 21st-century is driven by its being within easy commuting distance of Livingston, Edinburgh and Glasgow, combined with its close position relative to the principal transport arteries of the M8 motorway, the A89 and A71 roads, the Edinburgh – Glasgow railway line (the Shotts Line), and Edinburgh Airport. The East Calder Gala is a local highlight held every June, dating back to 1919.
