About us

The partnership between the Hochsauerlandkreis and West Lothian has been a living bridge for the population in both counties for 40 years. There have been many motors of this partnership on the German and Scottish sides, which have managed to bring the people of both counties together. They took many initiatives, especially in the areas of youth welfare, sport and culture.
