Lerwick Town Hall, Town hall in Lerwick, Scotland
The Scottish Baronial building features a symmetrical frontage with five bays, corner bartizans, and a prominent clock tower manufactured by Potts of Leeds.
Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, placed the foundation stone in 1882, and the building, designed by Alexander Ross, opened its doors in 1883.
The stained glass windows designed by James Ballantine & Son illustrate historical themes, including the marriage between Margaret of Denmark and James III of Scotland.
The town hall accommodates multiple functions, including a registrar's office, wedding ceremonies, concerts, and various community gatherings throughout the year.
The structure contains original features such as a council chamber, a courtroom, and police cells, reflecting its historical role in local governance.
