The dovecot which was associated with the nearby Findlater Castle can be easily reached following the path which branches off the main path to the coast. The dovecot was restored to preserve it and is a classic beehive design.

Findlater Castle

Highlight • Castle

Great viewpoint ruined castle right on the cliff edge. Some rooms still visible, but take care it's not an easy path and walls look cracked. Gives you a good insight into what it have been like to live in.
