Philpstoun is a small village situated roughly two miles east of the historic county town of Linlithgow, West Lothian. Surrounded by rich arable farm land, the village is comprised almost entirely of housing, with only a community centre and bowling club not being used for this purpose.
The bulk of the village lies between the Union Canal and the main Edinburgh-Glasgow railway line, although the easternmost part, Old Philpstoun, lies north of the railway and closer to the M9 motorway.
The village's name is frequently misspelt "Philipstoun".
