The chief of these is the Burn of Glaslaw, issuing from the den or ravine already mentioned as the termination of Strathmore. Its junction with the larger stream gives the name of Invercarron to a part the the territory of Stonehaven". (New Stat Acct P [Statistical Account Page] 216) |

Parish of Dunnottar
"Glas. - Gray, Pale, wan" (Gaelic)
"Law. - A designation given to many hills or mounts, whether natural or artificial". (Jamieson)
Note Captain Courtney R.E. [Royal Engineers] will please to decide on the spelling of the word Glaslaw, for all the objects under this name in the parish. I have been informed that on all the old writing &c it is written Glaslaw, and it is only of late years that it has been written Glasslaw. It is evidently the Gaelic "Glas. Grey and as the letter S is never written double in that language, Glaslaw would appear to be the proper spelling.
