About Paulville

Paulville, located in West Lothian, was conceived as a planned community and cooperative organization aimed at uniting supporters of U.S. Congressman Ron Paul. Established in January 2008, the initiative sought to create a unique living environment based on libertarian principles. However, the site was never developed, and the organization is currently inactive, rendering it an important point of interest for those researching historical planning applications in the area.
