Castle Mains, Dovecot

Dovecot (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Castle Mains, Dovecot stands in East Lothian, Scotland, a purpose-built chamber for keeping doves rather than people. The exact age remains unassigned, but the structure still belongs to Castle Mains and the local landscape. It may have fed a household, marked status, or simply served the practical hunger of a estate. The stones do not need a dramatic story to be worth noticing.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Castle Mains, Dovecot as Dovecot (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
