There seems to have been a number of new users editing in the West 
Calder area, all creating their accounts around 25th November:

https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/beeemm
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Agnes%20Cosgrove
https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/ldrin

It looks like they have come from this mapping session:

or perhaps this Sustrans project: 
https://www.facebook.com/WestCalderandHarburnCDT/posts/1606142299695187

Most of the edits are ok, just a few which have been incorrectly tagged 
and some buildings that could do with being squared.

If you have a look at 
http://nrenner.github.io/achavi/?zoom=13&lat=55.83714&lon=-3.57228&layers=B0TTTFT 
and set the date back to 2016-11-25 you can what's been edited in the area.
