Bordie Tower and Dovecot.
In the farm steading of Bordie, two miles north-north-west of Culross; are the remains of an L-shaped house of the 17th century, which has been three storeys and an attic in height. The part still standing has evidently been the wing, while on the west can be traced a fragment of the west gable of the main block, containing one jamb of the entrance. In the east wall is one small window which has back-set margins and a triangular pediment. To the east of the ruin is a barn, the fabric of which dates from the 17th century.
DOVECOT. Within 100 yards to the south of the steading is a rectangular two-chambered dovecot of 17th-century date, measuring 22 feet 1 inch by 18 feet over all. In each flank is an entrance and a landing platt for the birds.
