Situated by the Glenbrae Lodge in the Callendar Policies. Single storey building aligned with its ridge N/S and porch at the south end. The whole is surrounded by an iron railing set on a dwarf wall. The building is shown on the 1st edition OS, but the porch only appears on the 2nd edition and probably dates to c1890. Coursed whinstone with dressed sandstone margins and porch. Plain skews. The slate roof has been replaced by corrugated steel (c.2000) to keep the building watertight. Short stubby chimneys occur at either gable and are connected to flues in the east wall, designed to keep the chill off the dogs. The west wall contains four doors. Internal railed divisions created exercise yards for the animals.

This structure replaced an earlier building which has been demolished by the construction of the mainline railway. It now stands behind a later low single-storeyed curved stable block. It is housed in a crenellated tower attached to a block with tall narrow first floor windows and piended roof. The lower part of the tower was used as kennels, but at 16 ft above the ground a string-course marks the upper storey which contains 884 sandstone nest holes. The tower measures some 21 ft square. The entrance holes for the birds face S and are seven in number. An account of 1828 is given in the reference.

The ice-house stands prominently 130 m N of the house it served. The tall sandstone frontage is topped by a pediment, below which the doorway faces W. This orientation is due to the wish to display the building as a landscaped feature of the park, and in its location it would have been just as easy to face it N. It is built into the side of a disused gravel quarry. The antechamber is 3.65 m long and leads into the circular ice-chamber, 3.66 m in diameter, with its domed roof. Ice-chamber and antechamber are built of brick. Originally the ice-pit was 3.65 m deep from the floor of the antechamber, and given the gravel drift geology was presumably self-draining. The ice chamber was filled with gravel and other loose material by the Department of Amenity and recreation to bring it up to ground level, and it was subsequently used as a goat house. The antechamber had a door at either end, plus a third about mid way along. A small loch and ornamental canal lie 200 m to the S and would have provided ample ice. In September 1789 William Forbes received information on ice-houses elsewhere being intent upon erecting one at Callendar. These plans were made in "great haste" (GD 171,359/15).

A rectangular shaped doocot is shown on "Doocot" Park to the N of Callendar road opposite the avenue to the house on a plan of 1781. It was presumably demolished in the early 1840s when the main line railway to Falkirk Grahamston was constructed, to be replaced by the present doocot in the stables.

The site lies to the north of the Larbert Branch railway and on the southern margin of Camelon Golf Course and the west of Stirling Road. It lies on an elevated plateau above the River Carron, which has changed its course since the Roman period. The ramparts survive as prominent mounds, circa 4ft high.

The name of the road Doocot Brae suggests the former presence of a doocot associated with the old house of Grange. The road is shown on the 1st ed OS, but is not named until the second edition. There is no physical evidence on the ground.

The doocot was built shortly after the house in 1834, as is testified by the date on a sundial set below the blank window on the S. Two doors on the N side of a square base, and a small window in each of the W and E walls suggest that the ground floor was used as a garden shed. The upper floor is octagonal with blind arched windows in each side under a projecting cornice which carries the roof in a Greek Revival style. It is built of ashlar masonry placed upon a plain square string-course, whilst the masonry of the lower storey is of random rubble with dressed quoins. The roof is slated, ogee in form rising to a pointed spike which used to posses an iron trefoil finial. A small dormer in the roof, facing S towards the house, gives access for the birds. This is one of three which formerly crowned the gracefully curved pitched roof, each with two dove openings. The roof was re-slated in 1994.

A low battlemented tower is placed over a stone archway of the square courtyard of farm buildings at Avondale House. It houses a doocot which, like the tower, dates to the early 19th century. It has twelve arched dove holes in a row. The long entrance drive to the mansion passes under the pointed doocot arch to become an open drive again as it swings across the lawn to the house. The estate was originally known as Clarkstone.

A doocot formerly stood immediately to the N of the carriage drive to the house from the W. It was presumably built in the early 19th century along with the house and lodge. The present W Lodge has a squat, square crenellated tower and the doocot may have been of the same form. The house was destroyed by fire in the 1960s and the estate fell into neglect. The building now on the site of the doocot is a square brick structure.

About 150 yards S of the enclosure of Blackness Castle stands a ruinous doocot. It is oblong in shape, but only the N wall remains to any height containing a single string-course. The building measures 22 ft 11 ins by 15 ft 10 ins externally, with an entrance with set back rybates in the W wall. The doocot may have dated to the late 16th century.
