Tour Scotland photograph of the Doocot near
Elcho Castle in
Perthshire,
Scotland. This picturesque 16th century Doocot is very close to Elcho Castle. This type of structure was intended to house pigeons or doves in days gone by in Scotland. Pigeons and doves were an important food source historically, and were kept for their eggs, flesh, and dung. I was speaking to farmer tonight, on whose land the Doocot is on. He was most interesting, telling me many facts, including the fact that this doocot contains more than 400 pigeon holes.
