I am a 46-year-old home educating mother of two boys: 'Calvin' (aged 12) and 'Hobbes' (aged 8). Both boys lived in Asia for most of their lives, including four years in China. We moved to Scotland in the summer of 2008 with husband, the rock on whom we all depend.
We home educate in an eclectic, classically-influenced style. We all love to read, and take foreign language study seriously; Hobbes in particular wants to study as many languages with different scripts as possible. I try to balance our bookish tendencies with daily exercise.
Lorna has it: it's a dovecot. Here they are known as doocots, and this kind is a lectern doocot. There's a picture of an intact one on the wikipedia dovecot page.

It made me think of medieval times, whatever it actually is! :-)
an early castle keep
Karen (mrs. Readsalot on TWTM)
It could be any age from medieval to 20th Century. It's not that large, about 3m x 2m x 3m.
a jail or holding cell of some sort? (rhonda in TX on WTM boards)
Holding cell is more the right size, but that's not it. It stands on agricultural land, near a cottage but at the edge of a field.
A dovecot.
