What is recorded here
Grandtully Castle, Dovecot stands in Perth and Kinross as a purpose-built pigeon house rather than a grand residence. Its unassigned period resists easy dating, yet the structure still serves a clear function: feeding people through birds. The castle name suggests human ambition, but the dovecot shape admits a smaller truth. Perhaps pride built the walls while hunger filled them.
