[4] Dundee Law, which takes its name from a Scots word for a prominent hill, is an example of a volcanic sill.

The subsequent action of rain, wind and ice eroded the sandstone, revealing the volcanic rock.

The shallow gradient of the northern and eastern slopes of the law suggest a north-easterly movement of ice flows.

Mills Observatory was proposed to be built on the Law but plans were scrapped in favour of the war memorial.

In recent times Dundee Law featured prominently in the television drama Traces.
