Balerno
Balerno is a suburban area of Edinburgh, Scotland situated 8 miles (13 kilometres) south-west of the city centre, beside Currie and then Juniper Green. Administratively, Balerno falls within the territory of the City of Edinburgh Council. Its name derives from the Scottish Gaelic Baile Àirneach, suggesting "townland/town of the hawthorns". The earliest created documents of Balhernoch or Balernach are discovered in the late 13th century. The 18th Century brought considerable development to the area, with numerous new flax, snuff as well as paper mills emerging around the Water of Leith and also its tributary, the Bavelaw Burn (evidence of flax manufacturing can be seen in Harlaw Woods). The largest of these mills, Balerno Bank Paper Mill located near the centre of the old town enclosed the very early 1980s. After the First World War residence building started in earnest in the area as well as ever since property pressures have almost overwhelmed commercial and commercial ones. There was a brief loop train running over what is now the Water of Leith Walkway.
