002 | [Situation] About 1/2 Mile south from North Berwick "A very beautiful conical hill about 940 feet above the level of the sea, and about 800 feet above its base. It stands on an elevated plain, and is of comparatively easy ascent. The various views in ascending and particularly from its summit, both landward and seaward, are of the most delightful and commanding character. It forms a well known land mark." |

103 - North Berwick Law
Abridged from Statistical Account:
"The ruins on its summit are of a modern date, and were
the residence of a party, consisting of a naval officer and
three assistants - in charge of a signal station during the
late war. The Law is ascended from the East by a zig-
-zag path called from its form the M-walk. Its surface
is, towards the summit, covered with rocks - not precipitous but
elevated above its sloping surface."
