Bowerhope, a hill and a farm in Ettrick parish, Selkirkshire, on the SE side of St Mary's Loch. The hill is called Bowerhope Law, and has an altitude of 1570 feet above sea-level. Hogg, the Ettrick Shepherd, contemplating it in winter, says-
But winter's deadly hues shall fade
On moorland bald and mountain shaw,
And soon the rainbow's lovely shade
Sleep on the breast of Bowerhope Law.'
