The Scottish word for a dovecote — a structure, often a small tower or purpose-built building, where doves or pigeons are kept. Doocots are a distinctive feature of the Scottish countryside and many historic estates, and the word itself is one of those characteristically Scottish terms that feels almost untranslatable in its specificity. Historically, doocots were important for producing meat and eggs. Today, many are listed historical structures. If something is described as 'like a doocot', it means it's chaotically busy or noisy.
(countable) A cobbler-like fruit dessert.
