Tour Scotland Photograph And Video Tantallon Castle Dovecote East Lothian

Tour Scotland photograph of Tantallon Castle Dovecote and the Bass Rock near North Berwick, Scotland. A dovecote or dovecot, in Scots: doocot, is a structure intended to house pigeons or doves. Dovecotes may be free-standing structures in a variety of shapes, or built into the end of a house or barn. They generally contain pigeonholes for the birds to nest. Pigeons and doves were an important food source historically in Western Europe and were kept for their eggs, flesh, and dung.
