Dundee Law is a hill in the centre of Dundee, Scotland, and is the highest point in the city. The Law is what remains of a volcanic sill, which is the result of volcanic activity around 400 million years ago.[3] With a large war memorial at its summit, it is the most prominent feature on the local skyline.[4]
