About Corb Law
Rising above the Dunning Glen in the eastern Ochils, this rounded moorland summit offers a quiet alternative to the range's busier western peaks. The terrain consists of rolling grass and heather-clad slopes, leading to a broad top with expansive views north across Strathearn toward the distant Southern Highlands.

Did You Know?
- •The name combines the Scots 'Law', meaning a prominent or conical hill, with 'Corb', a name shared with the nearby glen and farm that likely derives from the Gaelic 'carb', referring to a basket-shaped landform or hollow.
- •From the summit, the view to the north is particularly specific, looking directly across the Highland Boundary Fault toward the prominent peaks of Ben Vorlich and Stùc a' Chroin.
- •It is frequently climbed in conjunction with the neighbouring Steele’s Knowe, though Corb Law remains largely untouched by the wind farm development that characterises its higher neighbour.
- •While officially classified as both a Hump and a Tump, the most accurate local classification for the ground underfoot is usually 'saturated'.
