Berwick Law from the east

North Berwick Law, sometimes abbreviated to Berwick Law, is a conical hill which rises conspicuously from the surrounding landscape (this is the definition of the Lowland Scots word "law").[2] It overlooks the East Lothian town of North Berwick, Scotland, and stands at 613 ft (187 m) above sea level.

It is considerably steeper (1:1 gradient) on its north side.
