08 Now we are on the top of the ridge, past the top of Andrewhinney and heading SE towards Bell Craig. There is quite a sizeable shoulder on Andrewhinney before you descend from it into the dip between it and Bell Craig. On the Ordnance Survey Explorer Map this shoulder is called Scawd Law. There are one or two small lochans on the flat top of Scawd Law as you see above. We are now beginning to see the tops of Swatte Fell and Saddle Yoke beyond White Coomb. The fence that you can see on the left is the boundary fence between the two Scottish Regions of "Dumfries and Galloway" and the "Borders". The Scots word "Scawd" means that the land has bare brown patches on it.
