Hogmanay Morning View From The Summit Of Law Hill Dundee Tayside Scotland

Tour Scotland 4K travel video of a Hogmanay morning view of the city and across to Fife from the summit of Law Hill on visit with friends to Dundee, Tayside. Hogmanay is the Scots word for the last day of the year in this case New Year's Eve, December 31st, 2019. 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.
