Rubers Law from the northeast Although it has a striking conical shape, Rubers Law (424m) is not the direct remains of a volcano itself, but the remnants of the central plug of hard rock left behind after over the 340 million years of erosion have removed the outer layers. The Borders Abbeys Way is routed slightly differently here from the line shown on the map, keeping N of the cottage at Blawearie.
