Description
The Dovecot at Saltoun Hall, possibly designed by Robert Burn around 1800, is a square, castellated structure that is harled. It is located across the Birn Water from Saltoun Hall, nestled within woodland. Each elevation features round-arched panels with impost bands, blind quatrefoils, embossed and diapered panels, and a crenellated parapet. There is a doorway on one side, which is accessed by stone steps. At the top, an octagonal lantern is present, equipped with flight holes and crenellated, featuring arrow-slit windows on each face that are alternately glazed and blinded. The circular interior is lined with nesting boxes.
