Hillend Ski Slope, now known as Midlothian Snow Sports Centre is a dry skiing slope and leisure facility on the Pentland Hills close to the border between Edinburgh and the neighbouring authority Midlothian. It has the longest artificial ski slope in Europe and is a training facility for many of Britain's winter Olympians. It was opened in the 1960's with money gifted to the council by business man and philanthropist George Boyd Anderson who had made a fortune planting rubber in Malaysia.
