So, the description in The Highland Council's "Off The Beaten Track" reads: "Built as a folly in 1825, this doocot used stone from the ruins of Dingwall Castle, the last traces of which were seen in 1818" So everyone here needs to cool their jets and enjoy a nice walk that includes a trail towards the train tracks and continues to a beautiful park with Firth rate views

I have been to Dingwall loads of times and I never knew this existed. It is really unique and quite an incredible find. You can only view this from the exterior and it is odd to see the modern bungalows so close. It is a pity there is no information board to give any history all you can do is wonder what the real story is.

Ancient castle tower. It is tiny and in someone’s front yard. Must have been for tiny knights as I think 3 would be a crowd in it. You can’t park there so you just drive by and then turn around. If you’re driving through the town, it’s worth the 30 second detour👍

I do love seeing history dotted about the place but this isn't one you need to go out of your way to see. Just look at the photos and enjoy a little bit of history about it. This folly is said to have been built from the stones of Dingwall Castle, on the site of the castle and is one of the few surviving relics of Dingwall Castle.

The castle is believed to have been established by Norse settlers in the area in the...

This Doocot or Didcot was once part of the original castle but the original castle was in ruins until it was flattened in the 1200s. Castle House is made after the castle was demolished and is made out of the original Stone. Castle Gardens was the Gardens but is now a street called castle Gardens. It is annoying to see tourists looking around our houses looking for...
