Hillend, Midlothian
Human settlement in Scotland
About
Hillend is a small hamlet in Midlothian, Scotland. Lying just south of Edinburgh, it is close to the boundary between Midlothian and the City of Edinburgh council area (partly denoted by the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass road) and takes its name from being situated at the end of the Pentland Hills.
It was the site of a fort, but all the stone has been removed and the land is now cultivated.
