Traprain Law
Traprain Law is a distinct upstanding feature in East Lothian's landscape. It is a volcanic feature, known as a laccolith, which has been subsequently shaped by the forces of ice, to give it the distinctive profile it has today. The main path on the N side is steep but provides steady access to the broad flat summit. From here you get fantastic views across the county and to the N on a clear day, the Grampian mountains can be seen.
