White Law is a fell in Roxburghshire at the edge of the Cheviot Hills, to the north of The Cheviot and on a north-south ridge close by that which forms the boundary of Roxburghshire to the west with Northumberland to the east. The summit is on the Pennine Way, on the last stretch before the descent to the path's northern end at Kirk Yetholm.

On a knoll of the fell, to the north, stand the Stob Stones, on the county border.

White Law reaches 1,411 feet at its summit. It is a rounded hill, surrounded by peaks. To the south is Auchope Cairn, a subsidiary top of The Cheviot itself. To the east in Northumberland the hills are interrupted by the College Valley and to the west in Roxburghshire and to the north there stretches a series of lesser hills before the dale of the Bowmont Water which runs down to Kirk Yetholm; the Cheviots do not let go until the very end.
