Tealing Dovecot is a circular stone dovecot located in Angus, Scotland, dating from the seventeenth century. Built in the traditional circular form characteristic of Scottish dovecots, the structure demonstrates the agricultural practices and social status of its period, as dovecots were typically associated with substantial landholdings and indicated the owner's right to maintain pigeons for food. The dovecot's design reflects the functional architecture of early modern Scottish rural estate buildings, with internal nesting boxes designed to accommodate a significant pigeon population. As a surviving example of vernacular agricultural architecture, it contributes to the material record of rural life and land management in early modern Angus.
