Tour Scotland Travel Video Drive To The View From Summit Of Law Hill Dundee Tayside

Tour Scotland travel video Blog of a drive to the view of the city and across to Fife from the summit of Law Hill on ancestry visit to Dundee, Tayside, Scotland. The Dundee Law, which may take its name from the Gaelic word for mound or more likely, from Anglo Saxon hlāw, meaning a grave mound, is the remains of a volcanic sill. During the Iron Age it was the site of a Pictish settlement. Roman pottery has been found on the law, suggesting that the Romans may have used it as a lookout post in the first century. The Law played host to an important event in 1689. On 13 April 1689 Viscount Dundee raised the Stuart Royal Standard on the Law, which marked the beginning of the first Jacobite rising. A war memorial to the fallen in both world wars was constructed atop the summit which was first unveiled on 16 May 1925.
