Barleith I think is in Hurlford and it is where the Johnnie Walker plant is. 

This is gathered from various google results...

There's a few more hits on Google even one in the google cache describing houses in Barleith,.

Hope this helps,
Pam

Hi

Yes it once stood where the Johnnie Walker distillery now is.

My Gran was born in Barleith, Block A or B... She recalls that there was very little room, only 2 rooms per house, one where all the kids slept and another where her parents slept and housed the stove. They had communal washing rooms and it was all very primitive! I have some photos I will have to dig out.

Any more links anyone finds to further info will be much appreciated.

JB :)
