Wether Law is a cairn located in Peeblesshire in the Scottish Borders region. The monument dates to the prehistoric period, likely the Bronze Age, when such burial cairns were constructed across upland areas of Scotland. The cairn consists of a mound of stones typical of funerary monuments from this era, positioned in a landscape that contains other similar prehistoric remains. Such cairns served as burial markers and ritual centres within Bronze Age communities, and Wether Law contributes to understanding the settlement and mortuary practices of prehistoric peoples in the Tweed Valley and surrounding uplands.
