📌 Auldearn, Highland
★
Boath Doocot (dovecot) is one of the National Trust for Scotland’s smallest properties – they call it one of their “little gems” – atop an ancient motte bordering Auldearn village. The attractive, 17th century building is unstaffed (with no interior access) but certainly not uninhabited; large numbers of pigeons clearly still call it home, except without the worry of having their eggs, droppings and fellow housemates plundered for food and fertiliser.
