The Burnside Mill is named after the Scouring Burn, one of two sources that watered and powered the city. Blackness, the densest area of industry in the city, was built to take advantage of the Scouring Burn to power the steam engines in the mills. Today, the burn still runs under Brook Street where this photograph was taken, making it likely this tree is still drawing from the water, even after the city no longer needs to.
