Dario Franchitti, probably the best driver never to have won a F1 GP, was born in Bathgate.

Paul Di Resta is Dario's cousin. I raced against Dario's father George in Formula Ford in 1977. He went on to better things. I didn't! I discovered I made Captain Slow look quick.

Paul Di Resta's dad Louis still has a f-ford and occasionally comes out to play at the hill, he isnt as fast as his laddie though

Just looking through the dictionary for something else and I happened upon "pandiculation", the act of stretching whilst yawning. I never thought we'd need a word for that.
