It has a sad history
While most shopping centres across Scotland today will be swarmed with Boxing Day shoppers looking to nab a bargain, one in West Lothian is completely deserted.
Five Sisters was located between Edinburgh and Glasgow by the M8 motorway, making it a perfect spot for Scots in the central belt of the country. It was open every day of the week and among the brands on offer were Versace, DKNY, Calvin Klein, Rockport and Levis.

A spokesperson said: "The re-development, or re-use, of Westwood , near West Calder, previously operating as a factory outlet centre, is supported by the council.
