Overview – Perth Self Storage Units
Boxxs Self Storage operates from Linlithgow, West Lothian, delivering secure, drive up storage with a focus on clean layouts, controlled access and modern site management. The Boxxs Self Storage model is based on purpose built storage environments that prioritise security, low traffic impact and ease of access for households, trades and small businesses.
From its Linlithgow base, Boxxs Self Storage serves customers across West Lothian and the central belt. The expansion to Perth reflects growing demand for secure storage in urban edge locations where redevelopment of brownfield sites provides long term community benefit.
Where to find storage nearby
Boxxs Self Storage is located in Linlithgow, West Lothian. The Perth site will operate as a sister facility under the same management standards.
Looking For Perth Self Storage Units?
At Boxxs Self Storage, our mission is clear, set a new benchmark for secure, well-managed, drive-up storage in Scotland. Our flagship facility in Linlithgow has become known for its clean, accessible layouts, modern security systems, and a genuinely customer-first approach.
Now, we’re taking that proven model north to Perth. Our new sister site, Perth Self Storage Units, will transform the long-derelict ABP meat-processing plant on Strathtay Road into Scotland’s first purpose-built, design-led modular self storage park.
From Long-Term Eyesore to Local Asset
For over a decade, the Strathtay Road site has stood empty a hazardous, deteriorating structure with collapsed roof sections, exposed asbestos, and potentially unsafe RAAC panels. It has become a magnet for fly-tipping, vandalism, and general blight in the area.
Our plan is straightforward. We will remove this unsafe structure entirely and replace it with a clean, quiet, secure modular self storage facility a model widely used across Europe, but one that Perth will now see executed to the highest standard.
What’s Coming to Perth
The new facility will launch with 116 Strongholds™ premium modular units, installed in phases to match local demand. Each unit will feature:
- NASA-developed aerogel insulation for year-round climate protection
- Digital locks operated via a secure mobile app
- Military-grade powder-coated galvanised steel construction
- Reinforced internal bracing for added durability
The site will also feature:
- 24/7 monitored CCTV across the entire compound
- Automated security gates with controlled access
- Motion-activated LED lighting to reduce light pollution
- Architectural finishes in muted greys with Traffic Blue roller doors, creating a clean, uniform appearance
What Linlithgow Taught Us – and How Perth Will Benefit
Linlithgow proved that the right combination of design, security, and management can change how people see self storage. At Boxxs Self Storage, we’ve seen our storage solutions used by:
- Businesses as flexible micro warehouses without the commitment of long-term leases
- Tradespeople looking for secure, drive-up storage for tools and materials
- Households simplifying moves, renovations, and life transitions
Perth will bring all these benefits, plus the advantage of purpose-built Strongholds™ units that integrate neatly into an urban-edge setting. The result will be a low-traffic, high-quality storage site that improves its surroundings.
Low Impact, High Value for the Community
Self storage is one of the lowest-impact uses for a site like Strathtay Road. Customers visit infrequently, typically once a month or less, and there’s no late-night disruption or heavy traffic. This makes it ideal for locations near residential areas.
For Perth households, trades, and small businesses, the new facility will be a practical resource for storing seasonal items, safeguarding business inventory, or making a home move easier.
Why It Matters
A well-managed, design-led storage facility is more than a place to store belongings, it’s an asset for the local economy and community. With Perth Self Storage Units, we’re bringing the same level of quality, security, and customer experience that Boxxs Self Storage customers already trust in Linlithgow.
