Dirrington Little Law is a hill of 1,180 feet in Berwickshire. It is an isolated hill, but one of a pair with Dirrington Great Law, a mile and ahalf to the north-east. Both aare to the south of Lammermuir.
Geologically, the two Dirrington Laws comprise Carboniferous volcanic felsite (riebeckite), and may be the remains of a laccolith, a type of volcanic intrusion into the surrounding sedimentary rocks of the Old Red Sandstone.[1]
