Burgie Castle and Dovecot is a historic fortified site in Morayshire, Scotland, comprising the remains of a castle and an associated dovecot structure. The castle dates from the medieval period and represents an example of the defensive architecture constructed by substantial landholding families in the region. The dovecot, a functional agricultural building, demonstrates the domestic and economic practices of estate management at the site. The monument reflects the settlement patterns and architectural investment characteristic of medieval and early modern Moray, where such fortified residences served both defensive and administrative purposes for their proprietors.
