On the farm road which approaches the peak, there are a number of green huts which are used as holiday dwellings or allotments. Huts of this type were first used as retreats for military servicemen and are now commonly used by families and pensioners, although their number in Scotland has declined.[1]

The summit of Law Hill is capped with a large radio tower which belongs to Arqiva.
