Bogward Doocot
Bogward Doocot
A very nice beehive doocot originally on the Bogward farm some distance from St Andrews.

The farm was developed for housing some time in the late 70s or early 80s and the doocot is now surrounded by housing.

It has around 800 nest boxes inside with pigeon holes in the top and at the side near the top.

The three projecting rings of stone are not floors projecting out but rat barriers to try and prevent vermin from gaining entry.
