Bilston is a former mining village that served the Bilston Glen Colliery which closed in 1988. Several small housing schemes have been built since, with a larger development currently underway at Cameron Gardens (see Image), changing Bilston's role to a commuter base as the Edinburgh City By-Pass is nearby. Unchanged, the Pentland Hills form the western skyline.
