Description

Bowbutts Doocot, located on Bruce Terrace in Kinghorn, is likely from the 18th century and features a two-stage design. The structure is built of random rubble, with squared rubble quoins and quoin strips. It has a round-headed door that is keystoned and voussoired.

The first stage includes a square tower with a rounded-headed boarded timber door on the south side, an additional door on the west side, and a narrow opening. There are urns at the corners, although the ones on the northeast and northwest are missing. The second stage is an octagonal dovecot, which has a cast-iron tie plate on each face and culminates in a slated polygonal roof with deeply overhanging eaves and flight-holes on the south side.
