Hillside is an interesting and attractive area of Edinburgh, situated on the boundary of the New Town. Hillside Street is strategically placed, as it is only a few minutes’ walk from Princes Street and the City Centre. Excellent shopping and a myriad of restaurants, theatres, cinemas, galleries and museums all contribute to the city centre’s sophistication and appeal. The Omni Centre, at the head of Leith Walk boasts a Health and Fitness Club, a multi-screen cinema and a number of restaurants. Edinburgh’s St James Quarter which opened in 2021 offers most fashionable shopping and leisure opportunities. The National Monument, at the summit of Calton Hill, that was erected to commemorate Scottish heroism in the Napoleonic Wars and the Scottish Parliament, with its dramatic and controversial architecture, are both within a short walk, as are Holyrood Palace and the stunning open spaces of the Queen’s Park. Well served by day and night bus services to the city centre and within walking distance of the Picardy Place tram stop and Waverley Station, there is also easy vehicular access to the A1 and the City Bypass.
