What is recorded here
Balloch, Castle and Dovecot Well stands in Perth and Kinross as a medieval castle, an unknown-period dovecote and a post-medieval well. The castle flew banners, the dovecote fed people, and the well gave water long after the castle stopped commanding the land. Together they measure what a place must keep doing when its first purpose dies.
