Key fact: Uphall Station, as its name suggests, is a small village based around a railway station close to the town of Uphall. Uphall itself is famous for its 12th Century church, Strathbrock St Nicholas. The name Strathbrock was adopted by the parish relatively recently, but the name itself is an ancient one, meaning Valley of the Badgers.
