Fingask Castle doocot, c. 1770, square in plan, small and badly ruined. SDD 1966.
On rising ground some 130m to the WSW of Fingask Castle (NO22NW 7.00), there is a fragment of the S angle of a late 18th-century dovecot with gothic detail. The interior was originally fitted out with wooden bird-boxes, but these have been removed and only a scarcement remains.
Visited by RCAHMS (IMS) 21 June 1989.
