Milton of Leys (Scottish Gaelic: Baile Muilinn an Leigheis, meaning "Mill-Farm of Medicine" [3]) is an area of the city of Inverness in the Highland council area of Scotland. It lies on high ground overlooking the Moray Firth, 3 miles (5 km) southeast of the city centre, to the west of the A9 road.

Since the 1990s, Milton of Leys has developed largely as a residential settlement. Construction of a local primary school began in June 2010, opening in August 2011.[4] Previously, pupils attended nearby Inshes Primary.

Housing development has continued throughout the 21st century, with Milton of Leys being one of the city's fastest growing areas.
