Finding secure, affordable space in West Lothian can feel like a full-time job. Traditional warehouses tie you into long leases, most self-storage sites lack outdoor space, and container yards often cut corners on security. That gap is exactly why Micro Yards has launched at Mill Road Industrial Estate, Linlithgow. The response has been immediate, with the first batch already sold out; however, more are expected to arrive by the end of September 2025.
A Micro Yard is the sweet spot between a lock-up and a complete workshop. You get a 280 sq ft fenced yard plus a 20 ft one-trip container, all inside the most modern, security-focused estate in West Lothian.
What Exactly Is a Micro Yard?
A Micro Yard is designed to give you the best of both worlds. Each unit combines two key elements: a 280 sq ft fenced yard with double gates and a hard-standing surface, plus a 20 ft one-trip container offering 160 sq ft of clean, dry storage with a high-security lock box. At £360 per month, VAT included, you get both spaces, supplied with high-grade padlocks, 24/7 access via PIN, and the flexibility to scale up or down whenever your needs change. In short, it is self-storage with an outdoor twist and industrial-grade security built in.
Prime Location Benefits
Mill Road Industrial Estate sits at EH49 7SF, just five minutes from the M9 and A803. That puts Linlithgow, Bo’ness, Falkirk, and the wider Central Belt on your doorstep, making deliveries and client visits straightforward.
Security here is a step above typical industrial or self-storage sites:
- ANPR cameras at every estate entrance
- 24/7 PIN-based tenant access
- Full CCTV coverage and LED lighting
Whether you are dispatching stock late at night or loading materials at dawn, Micro Yards gives you round-the-clock convenience backed by industry-leading security.
Practical Use Cases
Trades and Contractors
Skip daily loading runs. Store scaffolding, cement mixers, and power tools inside the container, while bulk materials or a trailer sit safely in the fenced yard. Less downtime, more billable hours.
