The other Gordonstoun Doocot
As well as Image] there is this odd-looking doocot in the grounds of Gordonstoun School. It was originally a windmill but was converted to a doocot by adding two tapering courses to the top. Unfortunately it is unsafe so it is not possible to get inside. There are said to be underground chambers beneath it, and the mound looks as if it might be artificial.

Main Door
Originally the main approach to Gordonstoun was via an arrow-straight drive from the north-northwest towards this door. Now, however, the approach is from either east or west, and this door looks as if it is never used. The present entrance is to the right of the view.

Gordonstoun House
The nerve centre of the famous school is the house, which dates mainly from the 18th century, though there are earlier parts, including the two wings. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/16143/gordonstoun-house for details.

Gordonstoun House
The south elevation of the house reveals some of its history. The central part was replaced in the 18th century following a fire, so the outer wings are older than the main block. At one time there was an extension at ground level, and vestiges of that can be seen in the various bricked-up doors, windows and archways. See https://canmore.org.uk/site/16143/gordonstoun-house for details.
