Linlithgow continues to attract forward-thinking businesses looking for strategic advantage in the heart of Scotland’s Central Belt. And Mill Road Industrial Estate sits at the centre of it all.
Companies assessing location typically weigh cost, connectivity, and community. Linlithgow strikes a rare balance. It offers direct access to the M9, reliable rail links to Edinburgh and Glasgow, and proximity to major population centres like Falkirk and Livingston—all without the congestion or overheads of a major city.
That’s why Mill Road Industrial Estate continues attracting businesses across West Lothian and beyond. The estate combines convenience with a working environment designed for productivity. It’s not just a collection of sheds. It’s where businesses start, grow, and invest in their future.
Mill Road is home to a wide range of operators, from established trade brands like Screwfix and Howdens to specialist retailers and emerging digital firms. Its flexible units, clear lease terms and responsive landlord model give tenants room to adapt as their needs evolve. And because the estate isn’t oversubscribed, new tenants benefit from quick occupancy and simple onboarding — something that’s becoming harder to find in more urban commercial zones.
Security and infrastructure are also key. Mill Road benefits from ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) across the estate, enhancing both safety and oversight for tenants. The Boxxs Self Storage site within the estate offers 24/7 access via gated entry and CCTV. It’s ideal for tradespeople, e-commerce sellers and individuals who need reliable storage close to home. Customers regularly come from Linlithgow, Bo’ness, Grangemouth and beyond, many of whom expand into complete business units as their needs grow.
One of the estate’s biggest strengths is the availability of scalable space. Tenants can start small and grow without changing postcodes, which makes a big difference in a world where customers value consistency.
Looking ahead, the addition of new modular workspace units — being developed by SRA Ventures — will offer even more tailored options for small businesses, combining secure storage with professional-grade office space. With EV charging, PV panels, and thermally efficient construction, these new buildings will offer future-proofed solutions without the city-centre price tag.
Mill Road’s continued success is due to its ability to move with the market. It offers the right size, the right service, and the right setup—all in a location that remains surprisingly underutilised. For businesses who want easy access to the Central Belt without the daily grind of city life, Linlithgow is a smart call, and Mill Road is the natural choice.
