Balerno
Balerno is a residential area of Edinburgh, Scotland located 8 miles (13 kilometres) south-west of the city centre, beside Currie and after that Juniper Green. Administratively, Balerno drops within the territory of the City of Edinburgh Council. Its name originates from the Scottish Gaelic Baile Àirneach, suggesting "townland/town of the hawthorns". The earliest created records of Balhernoch or Balernach are found in the late 13th century. The 18th Century brought substantial advancement to the area, with several brand-new flax, snuff and also paper mills springing up around the Water of Leith and its tributary, the Bavelaw Burn (evidence of flax manufacturing can be seen in Harlaw Woods). The largest of these mills, Balerno Bank Paper Mill situated near the centre of the old village closed in the very early 1980s. After the First World War residence building started in earnest in the location and also since then residential stress have nearly overloaded business and commercial ones. There was a short loophole train running over what is currently the Water of Leith Walkway.
