Bonnie Laws is a prehistoric cairn situated approximately 700 metres north of Cocklawfoot in Roxburghshire, Scottish Borders. The monument consists of a substantial mound of stone and earth typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in the Scottish Borders region. Such cairns served as burial monuments and were frequently constructed during the second millennium BCE, reflecting the ritual and ceremonial importance placed on the commemoration of the dead in prehistoric upland communities. The site's survival in the landscape, despite centuries of agricultural activity and weathering, attests to the robustness of its original construction.
