Hi all 👋🏻
Join me today as we CONTINUE OUR walk from Preston Mill along some fields towards the 16th-Century #BEEHIVE #DOOCOT back to the VILLAGE of EAST LINTON ~ #SCOTLAND 🏴 that is part of the UK. 🇬🇧 I visited this town in the beginning of September 2024.
Did you miss ☺️ my PRESTON MILL post last week?
Check it out here: PRESTON MILL in EAST LINTON ~ SCOTLAND 🏴 (photos and video)
For East Linton itself, have a quick look here : Walking around EAST LINTON - SCOTLAND 🏴
With this post I’m joining in at the Wednesday Walk challenge. That is hosted by @tattoodjay every week on Wednesday.
‼️Have a look: Here in the Wednesday Walk Community if you want to join in!… the community is run by @tattoodjay.
Look at his last #Wednesdaywalk post.
It will tell you also the rules of joining at the Wednesday walk posts 😁 come join us! It is fun!
Today’s photographic selection will be of 25 PHOTOGRAPHS.
Date: 7 September 2024.
I will follow the time stamps on them. So it looks like you are experiencing my #adventures on this #walk, to 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻 #discover everything what I saw, like the little #details seen through my eyes.
Location of the BEEHIVE DOOCOT we find on the following screenshot with a yellow star ⭐️ on google maps:
…above the Doocot we see the fields and Preston Mill where we start our walk.
This Wikipedia page has the following and much more information for you at Beehive Doocot or Dovecote from the Phantassie farm.
Phantassie Doocot is a "beehive" doocot, or dovecote, and is a National Trust for Scotland property, along with the nearby Preston Mill. It was built in the 16th century, and has an unusual parapet in the shape of a horseshoe. Behind the 4 feet (1.2 m) thick walls, there are 544 nest boxes which, in years gone by, would have given good shelter to the birds. source
🐦🕊️
Remember the sign next to the parking lot… last week. I liked the illustration so I attach another photo that I captured. It shows a part of the walk today. From the Mill past the Doocot further back to town.
Let’s start our walk today 😊
We walk over this white bridge over the river Tyne.
Our view to one side…
…and the other side of the bridge 😊
It is a long path between #fields. It is late in the day now 18:22h. Fog in the distance…
Looking towards the village we see the church's tower. It is my favourite capture today.
We see the Beehive Doocot appearing. Such an interesting structure 🤓🐦
Getting closer by… I have never seen one, so it is cool to discover it as we get closer 😁 Have you ever seen a Doocot?
From the 16th Century 😳 remember…
It looks still in a great state. The walls are truly thick… so I can imagine why.
Let’s quickly check out this sign next to it. Have a read:
…did you see the birds paintings on the wooden post too?
Looking at the top where the birds enter. It is a well protected shelter for sure.
Zooming in for you at the top of the Doocot.
We walk further… along the paths towards the village.
I see this little alley.
At the end is a wooden gate… we decide not to check it out.
A while further we see farm buildings. Bricked up windows and mostly #abandoned.
I love #exploring abandoned buildings, but this time we only look at the outside 😎
Rusty barrels… cool 😎
More details along the stone walls.
Walking around the corner we see these farm buildings are large….
It would be great to check them out better. Just not now hahaha
The right side… one could make a cute house 🏡 out of that part.
The left side. I think this is in use.
I zoom in on the #weathervane 😎 (yes, I have a spot on my lens when I zoom in this far… gggrrrrr I can’t remove it)
Walking further around the corner, we are almost back at the main roads into the village. We will finish here our photo walk today.
As an extra bonus… on the wall next to us, we find this sign 🪧 just before we leave this area to walk into the village.
Do have a read… it is very interesting. It tells a bit about the #history from this #village. That it was / is an #artist’s paradise and about the waterways. It also shows interesting other locations to visit in this area. 😎
…and here I say that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.

That’s cool you might have seen one. I didn’t know either u til I discovered this one on my walk. Very fascinating. To think the walls are 1.2 meters thick. It will stand for a while longer.

beautiful there but very cold and unhealthy now
Really cool #wednesdaywalk 👍 I have never heard of a doocot, very interesting. And I like the old masonry and details on the long farm buildings.
