Cottage above Meikleton
Reached only through the farmyard at Meikleton, this is probably a farm worker's cottage.

Lessendrum Doocot
The cylindrical dovecot at Lessendrum stands high, on a hill, some distance from the ruined house. Two string courses encircle the cote, which has an outer circumference of fifty-one feet. The entrance, in the south side, has a small window over it and a larger window above that. The roof is circular and slated, and has no opening nor louvre. All the nest holes have been destroyed.
A N Robertson, 1957 in http://canmore.rcahms.gov.uk/en/site/17869/details/lessendrum+dovecot/ which also suggests that it may date from the 16th century. The conical slate roof collapsed in 1985. This shape is unusual - generally, a doocot with a circular plan tapers towards the top, like an old-fashioned beehive.

Meikleton
The house and buildings are in this square, but the lie of the land is such that the fields are in adjacent squares. The distant farm near the top of the slope opposite is Nether Comisty. Interestingly, the second edition of the six-inch map names this as Mains of Lessendrum, and the first edition doesn't show it here at all, showing instead that Meikletown was further up the brae, near Image See http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=57.4623&lon=-2.69384&layers=5 and http://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/#zoom=17&lat=57.4623&lon=-2.69384&layers=6

Round Tower
Standing prominently on a hill to the west of Meikleton Farm, this tower is marked on O.S. maps as a Doocot, but is of rather an unusual design.
