This 17th-century doocot (Scots for ‘dovecot', which is a simple structure built to house pigeons or doves) sits on the site of an ancient motte. Just 20 minutes from Culloden, it overlooks the site of the Battle of Auldearn, which took place in 1645. It stands at just 7.5m tall, but it manages to house 515 nesting boxes within its walls.
