Leonie Hill is a minor road in the

Singapore. It is in Postal District 9. The road connects
Grange Road in the north to
River Valley Road in the south. As the name of the road suggests, it goes uphill from the ends to the centre.
As with Leonie Hill Road, Leonie Hill was named after Leonie Hill House, the property owned by Dr J.H. Robertson, who owned the land in the area where the roads were created. Leonie Hill House itself is said to have been named after Leonie Hill, a place in Scotland from Robertson's childhood.
