Twin Law is a summit in the Lammermuir Hills which affords extensive views over the rugged landscape.

On the summit you find two large cairns, the Twin Law Cairns. According to legend, the cairns mark the graves of two brothers who fought on opposite sides in an ancient battle.

Hiking

The two cairns of Twin Law(s) are located along the Southern Upland Way. On a clear day, they offer expansive views over the rolling hills of the Borders. One of the cairns has a single-person shelter from the wind, and a guest book is also located there.
