Hilton (Scottish Gaelic: Baile A' Chnuic) is a former village now part of the city of Inverness, in the Highland council area of Scotland. It is about 2 km south of the city centre. A large amount of council housing was built there during the post-war era of the 20th century. As implied by both names, it is on a slight elevation between the River Ness and the valley of the Mill Burn.
