In 1882-4, Frances Groome's Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland described Hillside like this:
Hillside, a village and a quoad sacra parish in Montrose parish, Forfarshire. The village stands on sloping ground, ½ mile NNE of Dubton Junction, and 2¾ miles NNW of Montrose town, under which it has a post office. Straggling over a considerable area, it contains a number of fine villas, and is a summer retreat of families from Montrose. ...
