Scottish Doocots

Dovecotes (doocots in Scotland) form prominent features in the rural landscape of many parts of Scotland. A large number have survived for centuries because of their substantial construction, and their architecture is generally a perfect expression of local craftsmanship. They have an appeal to anyone with an eye for architectural form and with their robust solid stone walls are strongly representative of national architectural tradition.
