Northern side of William Law

Unlike the western side of the hill which rises steeply from the Gala Water, the north and east are more gentle. There is some heather, and grouse here.

Most of the square shown here, a mix of moorland and farmland taken from below the summit of William Law. The foreground is grazed by Luing cattle, who were just over the hill in the next square. There were some red grouse around as well. It was snowing gently, but only settling on the higher ground to the west.
