Harburn is a small village and estate in West Lothian, Scotland.[1][2] It lies approximately 2 miles south-east of West Calder and just to the north of the Pentland Hills.
The Harburn estate is a 19th century landscaped park and country house estate, primarily laid out in 1808.[3][1] Harburn House is a Category B listed 18th century country-house that was built in 1804 for Alexander Young (1757-1842), factor to the Duke of Hamilton.[3][4][5] It replaced an early property, Hayfield House and there are also records of a Harburn Castle, recorded as being fortified during Cromwell's invasions.[3][1] [6] The stables are also early 19th century and are Category B listed.

In 1832, King Charles X of France visited Harburn and a monument to his visit, in the form of a stone column was erected.[8]
