Crib Law

Situated in the rolling terrain of the Moorfoot Hills, this rounded Southern Uplands summit offers a quiet escape within the Scottish Borders. At 424 metres, it is characterized by typical moorland grass and peat, providing a gentle ascent and wide, uncluttered views of the surrounding Tweed Valley landscape.

• •The name is a linguistic hybrid; 'Crib' likely derives from the Cumbric word for a crest or ridge, while 'Law' is the Scots term for a prominent, rounded hill.
• •It is often bagged alongside the neighbouring Dundreich, forming part of a long, undulating moorland traverse that remains relatively quiet even on busy weekends.
• •On a clear day, the view extends south across the Tweed Valley to the more rugged profiles of the Manor Hills and the distant heights of Broad Law.
• •Those expecting the dramatic, rocky arêtes usually associated with the name 'Crib' will find the reality here involves significantly more peat and considerably fewer handholds.
