Details	A dovecot dating from the late 17th or early 18th century. It is constructed of rubble stone and mud mortar. It has crow stepped gables, two rat ledges on the back wall, two dormers pierced with 3 pigeon ports each and a centre door in the South front. No nesting boxes survive. The lean-to roof originally had stone slabs, but is now slated. It was restored in circa 1970. It is all that survives of a 17th century house, owned by the Brodies of Lethen.
