Norman's Law is a craggy summit overlooking the Firth of Tay in north Fife. It is of volcanic origin and is the eastern outlier of the Ochil Hills. Its summit once housed the site of an iron-age hill fort, and today it is shared by a cairn, mountain indicator, and trig pillar. The pillar is in good condition and has been recently painted white. On such a prominent hill, the views are excellent in all directions.
STEEPNESS: Steepest on the final ascent to the summit, but no particular difficulties.
TERRAIN: Paths have been carved out on various routes to the summit with only the odd patch of grassy pasture to endure.
ACCESSIBILITY: The summit is never more than two miles away from a public road in any direction. The quickest route is from Pittachope, less than a mile to the north where the Fife Coastal Path runs along the hill's northern flank.
NAVIGATION: No difficulties in clear weather with the shapely summit and white pillar in view. In mist, follow the various paths that snake their way up the craggy final ascent.
DANGER: Keep to the paths to avoid any crags. Beware of livestock if crossing fields lower down.
