Corstorphine Dovecot
Corstorphine Dovecot was built as part of the Corstorphine Castle estate. Dovecots, or doocots, were an important element of a landed estate. They housed pigeons in rows of nestboxes and the young birds, called squabs, were an important and reliable source of fresh meat.

An interesting little find in the heart of Corstorphine, right by the church. A nice wee spot for a quick walk with some interest.
