Description
Craigiehall Doocot is a single chamber, rectangular-plan lectern doocot, dated 1672. Currently, it is roofless and has some loss of material at the wallhead as of 2016. The building is constructed of rubble sandstone and features a rat course running around all elevations. The south elevation includes a central boarded door, a central flight ledge above the rat course, and bracket skewputts. The west elevation has a central blocked oculus above the rat course.
Inside, as observed in 2016, there are approximately 600 nesting boxes that extend from floor to ceiling on all sides of the chamber.
