Norman's Law Elevation 285 m (935 ft) Prominence 209 m (686 ft) Parent peak Innerdouny Hill Listing Marilyn Location Location Fife, Scotland Range Ochil Hills Topo map OS Landranger 59 OS grid NO305202 Norman's Law is a prominent hill at the very eastern end of the Ochil Fault, Scotland. It sits above the south bank of the River Tay, around four miles north west of Cupar.
Around the summit cairn of Norman's Law are the remains of an Iron Age hill fort and settlement, owing to the hill's commanding views over the surrounding countryside and the defensive advantage provided by the steep slopes surrounding the summit.
The summit of Norman's Law is easily accessible; the shortest ascent is from NO310209, about a mile west of the village of Brunton. There are extensive views of Central Scotland, the Southern Highlands and the Grampian Mountains. On a clear day, one can see as far as Lochnagar to the north, Ben More (Crianlarich) to the west and the Moorfoot Hills to the south.
The Norman's Law hill race is held annually by Fife AC and begins at the nearby village of Luthrie.
