Welshie Law

Standing at 504 metres in the Manor Hills south of Peebles, this grassy summit forms part of a rolling upland ridge characteristic of the Scottish Borders. The ascent is typically combined with nearby Dun Rig and Dollar Law, forming a satisfying circuit over open moorland with far-reaching views across the Tweed Valley and surrounding hills.

• •The name 'Welshie Law' likely derives from 'Welsh', a Scots term historically used to refer to the ancient Britons who inhabited the Borders before Anglian settlement, combined with the Scots word 'law' meaning a rounded hill.
• •The hill sits within a cluster of Manor Hills that includes Dun Rig and Dollar Law, all of which can be walked together in a single day from the Manor Valley, making this a popular horseshoe route for Borders hillwalkers.
• •From the summit on a clear day, views extend north to the Pentland Hills, west to the high tops around Talla Reservoir, and south across the characteristic rolling landscape of the Southern Uplands.
