Description

The Centre Dovecot is likely from the early 19th century. It is a circular structure built with pinned ashlar and has eaves courses, a conical slate roof, and a conical roofed cupola featuring flight holes. This dovecot is larger and incorporates a later Gothic spirelet. It forms part of a group of three dovecots at Inverquhomery.
