Broad Law, a mountain at the meeting-point of Drummelzier, Lyne, and Tweedsmuir parishes, Peeblesshire, 12½ miles SW of Peebles. It belongs to the Hartfell group; it sends off early affluents to the Megget and the Tweed; it is of easy ascent, and clothed with rich herbage; it rises to an altitude of 2723 feet above sea-level; and it commands a sublime prospect, from the English Border to the German Ocean.
