Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Doocot near Strathleven House. In the 1970s, before nearby Strathleven Estate had been built, this tower was hidden away in a dense tangled wood, and it was necessary to climb over low gnarled tree branches to reach it. The tower, which is close to Strathleven House (1058768), now stands in the open, with an area of grass in front of it, and a little pool behind.
Although I had been informed that this was a game tower, where meat was hung to be tenderized, that isn't the case; instead, as described in the book "North Clyde Estuary - An Illustrated Architectural Guide" (Frank Arneil Walker with Fiona Sinclair), this is "a doocot, early 18th century, a two-storey square structure pedimented on the north and south. The upper chamber, containing stone nesting boxes, sits on a vaulted ground floor". |
