At the Broomy Law "law" signifies "little hill," as in Berwick Law, Greenlaw, and other Scottish place names we have the broom flowering in springtime in a blaze of yellow, as, we are told, it flowered at the Broomielaw in Glasgow until in time industry and commerce struck at its roots and the name alone was lett to recall the sylvan simplicity OF the long ago. The old and beautiful Scottish song, " On Ettrick's Banks," has these lines

At Leith auld meal comes in, ne'er fash

An' herrings at the limomieltizc, Cheer up your heart, my bonnie lass

There's gear to win we never saw.

And in the Jacobite ballad "A wee bud cam' to our ha' door" wc have: -

lie row \I him in a Highland plaid Which covered him but sparely, An' slept beneath a bush o' broom O ! w.ie's me tor Prince Charlie !

The beauty ot the broom lingers in the memory of all who come to plal at Glcneagles.
