File:Corstorphine Doocot.jpg
One of the finest examples of a 16th-century 'beehive' doocot with rat courses (to prevent vermin climbing in) stands amidst residential bungalows south of Corstorphine High Street. The doocot is a relic of Corstorphine Castle, built in the 14th century by the Forrester family. Pigeons were an important source of meat in winter-time and especially during famines. The castle stood approximately 150 yards to the south-west (now marked by Castle Avenue).
