Armadale was once a thriving fishing port, but its population declined in the mid-20th century. In recent years, the village has seen an increase in population due to an influx of tourists.
The village has a long history dating back to the 11th century. In 1493, the village was granted a charter by King James IV of Scotland. This charter allowed the village to become a market town and gave it the right to hold a weekly market.
In 1745, the Jacobite Rebellion occurred in the area. During this time, the village was used as a base for the Jacobite forces. The Jacobites were eventually defeated and the village was burned down by the British forces.
