Bieldside is a suburb to the west of Aberdeen City Centre, Scotland. Together with the neighbouring suburb of Cults, it is the wealthiest area in Scotland. It has one pub/restaurant, The Bieldside,[1] a foodstore, a hairdresser, a tea room and a charity shop. The Old Deeside railway line (now the Deeside Way) passes through Bieldside, and Queen Victoria would often stop at Bieldside on her regular journeys between her summer retreat at Balmoral and the city centre.

Bieldside is attributed as one of the wealthiest areas in Scotland, and is home to the most millionaires per postcode outside London.[2] Its residents include former UK Open winner Paul Lawrie and Stewart Milne.
