Whitelaws

Rising to 509 metres in the Angus Glens north of Kirriemuir, this Dodd occupies rolling moorland terrain characteristic of the southern Grampian foothills. The summit offers views across Glen Prosen to the west and the fertile farmland of Strathmore stretching towards the North Sea. A modest but honest ascent through heather and grass.

• •The name 'Whitelaws' derives from Scots, with 'white' referring to light-coloured ground or vegetation and 'laws' meaning rounded hills or mounds, aptly describing the pale grass-covered slopes that distinguish this summit from darker heather-clad neighbours.
• •The hill sits between Glen Prosen and Glen Clova, two of the most accessible of the Angus Glens, making it a natural inclusion for walkers exploring the network of tracks that connect these parallel valleys.
• •As a Dodd, Whitelaws belongs to a classification introduced by hillwalker Alan Dawson, covering Scottish hills between 2000 and 2500 feet with at least 30 metres of prominence, a category designed to highlight modest but distinct summits often overlooked by Munro baggers.
