Founded in 1854 around the mill and originally called Caberston, Walkerburn mainly housed agricultural workers. The earliest recorded dwelling was located on the present site of Caberston Farm, whereas both Purvis Hill and Plora Hill still have remains of ancient terraces which are still of unknown origin today. However it is believed that the terraces on Purvis Hill belong to the Pictish period. (600-700 AD )
It is believed that on the south side of the river there was a small hamlet called Linkumdoddie. This hamlet was immortalised in the famous song by Robert Burns during his travels in the Borders.
