According to The New Statistical Account of Scotland (1845) Liberton was one of the most important agricultural parishes in Scotland. The cultivated land was divided into thirty-four farms varying in size from 40 to 268 acres. One of these farms was Tower Mains Farm.
Formerly part of Midlothian, Liberton joined Edinburgh after the Edinburgh Boundaries Extension & Tramways Act of 1920.
Tower Mains is now a mixture of residential and commercial premises.
