Misty Law

Rising to 510 metres in the rolling uplands of Renfrewshire, this modest summit sits within sight of the urban belt yet retains a quiet, pastoral character. The name suggests a hill prone to low cloud and mist, a fitting description for these often damp western moorlands. A Donald Dewey that rewards the diligent with genuine solitude.

• •The name 'Misty Law' reflects the hill's exposure to the prevailing westerly weather systems sweeping in from the Atlantic, with 'Law' deriving from the Old English 'hlaw' meaning a rounded hill or burial mound.
• •As a Donald Dewey, Misty Law sits in that often-overlooked category of Scottish hills between 500 and 609 metres with a drop of at least 30 metres—smaller than the Corbetts but requiring no less commitment on a wet day.
