Ogilface, an ancient baronial fortalice in Torphichen parish, Linlithgow, 3½ miles W of Bathgate. It belonged to the ancient family of De Bosco, Barons of Ogilface; passed to the Earls of Linlithgow; seems to have been a structure of some strength, but of no great size; and is now represented by only traces of the foundations.
