Photograph of Dumfries Tolbooth

The Burgh Tolbooth was originally built in the 15th century, and substantially rebuilt in 1718 as a council chamber.  This was where the town council held its meetings.  It was approached by a flight of stairs over a small prison for people awaiting trial.  The Council moved out in 1832 and the building became the Rainbow Tavern.  The Tolbooth was demolished in the 1930's.
