Biel House Doocot In a field some distance from Biel mansion is a 19th century double lectern-type doocot with two doors and two small round windows. Also 24 entry holes in a row midway up the roofs. Inside, there is a large number of stone nests, and a potence ladder in one chamber. The east room of the doocot is in quite a ruinous condition.
The present Biel House dates from the 16th century, is statutorily listed, and is a castellated three-storey building. It was formerly owned by the Earls of Belhaven. William Atkinson extended it between 1814 and 1818, and early in the 20th century further alterations of the interior were made by R. R. Anderson.
