Law, Dundee
The Law is an area located in the centre of Dundee, Scotland. Its predominant feature is an extinct volcano which gives it its name.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Dundee Law )〕 ==Geology== The Dundee Law, which may take its name from the Gaelic word for mound or more likely, from Anglo-Saxon ''hlāw'' (modern Scots ''law'') meaning a (grave-)mound, is the plug of an extinct volcano. Actions by subsequent ice movements further eroded the hill and deposited more debris around the base creating a crag and tail. The shallow gradient of the slopes on the north and eastern sides of the law suggest a north easterly movement of ice flows. The hill's summit is over 500 feet above sea level.〔Ordnance Survey, Explorer 380 map ''Dundee and Sidlaw Hills''〕I
