Innerleithen was a village that developed with the establishment of woollen mills. The town had the first custom built woolen textile mill in the Scittish borders when Brodie’s Mill, later developed as Caerlee Mill, was built in 1790. This was followed by Dobson’s Mill, later developed as Leithen Mills, in 1846. Waverley Mill was the last large woolen mill, built in 1871. By 2000 only Caerlee Mill was still in production, this closing down in 2013. In addition to industry, Innerleithen developed as a spa town. In the 1820s the Earl of Traquair ordered the construction of St. Ronan’s Wells which, when Walter Scott wrote a novel about it, became a popular tourist destination. The town had a train station by 1864, which closed down in 1962. | Innerleithen was a village that developed with the establishment of woollen mills.

Innerleithen was a village that developed with the establishment of woollen mills. The town had the first custom built woolen textile mill in the Scittish borders when Brodie’s Mill, later developed as Caerlee Mill, was built in 1790. This was followed by Dobson’s Mill, later developed as Leithen Mills, in 1846. Waverley Mill was the last large woolen mill, built in 1871. By 2000 only Caerlee Mill was still in production, this closing down in 2013. In addition to industry, Innerleithen developed as a spa town. In the 1820s the Earl of Traquair ordered the construction of St. Ronan’s Wells which, when Walter Scott wrote a novel about it, became a popular tourist destination. The town had a train station by 1864, which closed down in 1962.
