Monkton Windmill, Ayrshire, 18th century windmill and dovecote in Monkton, Scotland.
The circular tower structure measures 3.35 meters in diameter at ground level with walls reaching 0.9 meters in thickness.
Built in the early 1700s on an Iron Age hillfort site, the windmill transformed into a dovecote during the 19th century for meat and egg production.
The building received Category A listing from Historic Environment Scotland in 1971, marking its importance to Scottish agricultural heritage.
Located near Glasgow Prestwick Airport, the windmill stands as a preserved structure without its original machinery or nesting boxes.
Three defensive ditches from the Iron Age fort encircle the windmill, visible through aerial observation of the site.
