The building is open to the public (8am to 8pm April to October and 9am to 4pm November to March) and as well as free access has very helpful and well-illustrated information boards both inside and out and excellent sound effects.
The doocot (dovecot) was built around 1550 and was in use until the middle of the 19th century. The restoration was completed by Crail Preservation Society.
Inside the doocot is a rotating ladder to reach every part of the inside walls so that the pigeons and eggs could be accessed.
It's right alongside the Fife Coastal Path.
