Ruberslaw is a hill, in the Scottish Borders area of Scotland. The parish comprises Hobkirk, Southdean and Ruberslaw, combining Bedrule, Denholm and Minto churches.
The poet John Leyden was a native of Denholm and described Ruberslaw thus:
'Dark Ruberslaw, that lifts his head sublime, / Rugged and hoary with the wrecks of time; / On his broad misty front the giant wears / The horrid furrows of ten thousand years.'
