Description
This is a late 17th and early 18th century dovecot, situated within the grounds of Knockando House. The dovecot is constructed of harl-pointed rubble with tooled granite dressings. The south front features a central door with chamfered margins. A single rat course runs around the building, extending across the return gables and rear. There is a single diamond vent in each gable, and a single later piended dormer, from which the flight holes are now missing. Crowsteps are visible, and the roof is covered in local slate. The interior contains 400 stone nesting boxes. The dovecot has been documented in Robert Douglas’s The Dovecots of Moray (1931) and Elizabeth Beaton’s The Doocots of Moray (1978).
