Boarhills Doocot
East Fife
Boarhills Doocot is a typical Fife lectern style doocot and is thought to date to the 17th century. It was acquired by Boarhills and Dunino Community Trust in 2018 as part of a project to create a village green space . The purchase was assisted by a grant from the Scottish Land Fund.
The doocot was in a ruinous condition and, after a period of fund raising, work started on its restoration in autumn 2022. Financial assistance was received from Fife Environment Trust, St Andrews Community Trust and St Andrews Heritage Trust. The work was completed in June 2023. The doocot is now fully restored and an eye-catching feature on the Fife Coastal Path.
Guided tour of doocot and our exhibition on the history of doocots in this area. Adjacent community green space is ideal picnic spot with lovely views. Come and relax! Or why not have a walk along part of the coastal path or around Boarhills, accessible from this point.
