Blacklaw or Mount Cameron, a small eminence in East Kilbride parish, Lanarkshire, ¾ mile SE of East Kilbride village. A commodious dwelling-house on it was the residence of Mrs Cameron, a high-born lady who manifested such zeal for the cause of Jacobitism in 1745 as made her famous throughout Great Britain. Two seams of coal, respectively 3 and 2 feet thick, underlie the eminence.
