About Bents
Bents is an unincorporated community in West Lothian, Scotland, named after Longniddry Bents. Originally known as Piche, the area features remnants of its past, including a derelict wooden grain elevator that gained recognition in a National Geographic photograph. As the remains of the town are situated on private property, potential planning applications in the vicinity may focus on preserving the historical significance and addressing land use in the area.
There are currently no active flood warnings for the Bents area, indicating a relatively low flood risk at present. This is a positive factor for both existing residents and those considering property purchases or new developments.
In terms of safety, there were no crimes reported in the immediate area during the most recent reporting period (September 2026). This makes Bents a particularly low-crime area, which is often reflected in its desirability and property values.
