A tollbooth or town house was the main municipal building of a Scottish burgh, from medieval times until the 19th century. The tollbooth usually provided a council meeting chamber, a court house and a jail. The tollbooth was one of three essential features in a Scottish burgh, along with the mercat cross and the kirk (church).
Burghs were created in Scotland from the 12th century. They had the right to hold markets and levy customs and tolls, and tollbooths were originally established for collection of these.[1] Royal burghs were governed by an elected council, led by a provost and baillies, who also acted as magistrates with jurisdiction over local crime. The tollbooth developed into a central building providing for all these functions.[2] Most tollbooths had a bell, often mounted on a steeple, and later clocks were added. As well as housing accused criminals awaiting trial, and debtors, tollbooths were also places of public punishment, equipped with a whipping post, stocks or jougs. The tollbooth was occasionally a place of execution, and where victim's heads were displayed. The tollbooth may also have served as the guardhouse of the town guard. Other functions provided in various tollbooths included schoolrooms, weighhouses, storage of equipment and records, and entertainments.
