Tour Scotland Video Elcho Doocot Perthshire

Tour Scotland travel video of the Doocot near Elcho Castle on ancestry, genealogy, history visit and small group trip to 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. This doocot contains more than 400 pigeon holes.
