The Daldowie Dovecot is a Category A listed dovecote in Glasgow, Scotland. It was built in the mid-18th century on the north bank of the River Clyde, in the grounds of the former Daldowie House estate.[1] It stood isolated for several decades within the grounds of Daldowie Sewage Works,[2] and was dismantled and re-erected in its present location on the A74 Hamilton Road (south of Mount Vernon) in 2000,[3] at a cost of £500,000.[4]
