General Information
5 Upper Hillside is situated in a small cul - de - sac of just 5 similar detached
houses, on the upper side of Gulberwick just 3 miles from the centre of
Lerwick, the area having been a popular location in recent years, particularly
with families, as it offers a more rural setting yet is still within easy
reach of all the amenities Lerwick, just a short 5 minute drive away, has to
offer.
School transport is provided for primary and secondary schooling to Lerwick at
either Sound primary school or the Anderson High School, and the local hall is
used for a variety of functions. There is a bus stop on the main road at the
Upper Hillside junction.

light. A hatch with pull - down ladder provides easy access to the loft space.
