Dovecot (17th Century)

What is recorded here

Kinnaird Castle, Dovecot stands in Perth and Kinross as a 17th Century structure, its stones still holding the shape of hands that stacked them long before cameras or maps. It may have fed lords, housed birds, or simply watched the valley breathe, but human life certainly moved through it because stone does not build itself. The castle nearby suggests rank, hunger and pride, while the dovecot suggests patience, eggs and quiet repetition. Together they sketch a household where grandeur and sustenance shared the same sky.
