For many years, Balgowan provided a sawmill for the timber industry. It made hardwood flooring and fence panels as well as wood chips and sawdust. The mill was on the Perth-Crieff rail line and had sidings that were used for bringing in imported tropical hardwood for flooring. The sawmill site is now used for housing.
