Did You Know?

  • The name 'Rodger Law' combines a surname with the Scots 'law', meaning a rounded hill, a term common across the Southern Uplands derived from Old English 'hlāw' originally denoting a burial mound or prominent rise.
  • The hill forms part of the Culter Hills group, a compact range of grassy moorland summits lying between the Clyde Valley and Biggar Water, often walked as a circuit from the minor road over Culter Fell.
  • Despite its modest height, Rodger Law qualifies for three separate hill classifications—Dodd, Donald Dewey, and Tump—making it a useful tick for peak-baggers working through the lower Scottish lists.
