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.
