Balquhatstone Doocot

Three rows of entrance holes are arranged over a blocked up pend which formerly led to the stable square. Each row is provided with a perching ledge. This doocot is unusual in facing north.

The pend was inserted around 1850 but did not operate for long and was blocked up before 1900.  The doocot replaced one in the west gable of the same wing which can be seen on the left of the photograph above the blind window.
