The largest of these mills, Balerno Bank Paper Mill situated near the centre of the old village enclosed the early 1980s. After the First World War home structure started in earnest in the area as well as since then domestic stress have virtually overloaded industrial and also commercial ones. There was a short loop railway running over what is now the Water of Leith Walkway.
