The last waterwheel on the length of the mill lade was at Tweedbank farm, to power threshing machinery. The lade runs behind the Scott Motors premises, formerly Hogg Robertson's smithy, then past the site of Stewart's sawmill and Leithen Mill, now replaced by housing. In a few hundred metres it reaches the Tweed, close by the parent stream of the Leithen Water.
