Hi again everyone,

Just wondering if any of you have much to do with pigeons? Not exactly
on poultry topic but I was thinking of squab. I have been looking at
pics of some of the beautiful old dovecotes around UK and EU. I have
no ambitions of building anything like them but more to look at
housing styles past and present. Couldn't imagine a round building
housing thousands of birds either.

So who has pigeons and how do you house them?

so far I have a letter discussing the building of a mill here in 1755,
and a map draw up just before that without any signs of buildings so I
am taking this as an approximate date of establishemnt of the current
settlement, but as we have a neolithic burial cist in our wall and a
number of standing stones, crannogs, chambered cairns etc its obviously
been a busy place since the last of the ice left 10,000 years before
present.
I have found most of the people who are recorded as having lived,
worked, been born, died and married from the farm, but have yet to learn
all about their lives.

It must be fascinating living with so much history. When my mother

Would love to visit but...
