Hillyland lies immediately to the east of the A9 and south of the A85 (Crieff Road). As its name suggests, the area is centred on a hill, which is 55.8 metres (183 ft) at its highest point.[3]

In 1909, city reports described a "special drainage district" called Tulloch and Hillyland.[4]

Hillyland Farm

Morris Young Ltd., a haulage company, was located in the wedge of land between Crieff and Tulloch Roads between 1952 and 2020.[5] Its lorry fleet was visible parked atop the hill located at the former Hillyland Farm,[6] from which the area grew.[1][7] Now-demolished dwellings for the farm workers were pictured in a 1904 issue of The Architect and Contract Reporter.[8] Robert Henderson was the farmer in 1897.[9]
