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.

Tour Scotland Photograph Video Elcho Castle Perthshire

Tour Scotland photograph of Elcho Castle just South of Perth, Scotland. This Scottish castle, located on the South Bank of the River Tay, consists of a Z-plan tower house, with fragments of a surrounding wall with corner towers. The Castle was built on the site of an older structure about 1560, and is one of the best surviving examples of its date in Scotland. A large portion of the Castle is accessible, although floors in some rooms have fallen, and much of the building can be walked through. Elcho Castle was built in the latter half of the 16th century for the Wemyss family.
