Hillend

Hillend is a small hamlet in Midlothian, just outside the Scottish capital Edinburgh, best known for the Hillend Ski Centre, an artificial ski slope. It is near the boundary between the area administered by Midlothian and the City of Edinburgh, and gains its name for being situated on the nub end of the Pentland Hills.

There is also a golf course, Lothianburn Golf Course, and a pub. The area is dominated by the Edinburgh city bypass.

Hillend is well suited to paragliding and is flyable in NE and SE winds.

Occasionally ostriches can be seen grazing on the heather.
