Culross Town House, Municipal tolbooth in Sandhaven, Fife, Scotland
The town house features a symmetrical five-bay frontage with a double external staircase leading to a central doorway with rectangular fanlight.
Built in 1626 to replace an earlier council chamber, the structure gained its three-stage clock tower in 1783, designed by clockmaker Laurence Dalgleish.
The reception room displays wooden panels with King Charles I royal coat of arms and stone panels commemorating local nobility of Carnock and Yalleyfield.
The National Trust for Scotland currently maintains the building, offering exhibition spaces and a gift shop on the ground floor for visitors.
The building contained debtors' rooms and prison cells where accused individuals, including Lilias Adie from Torryburn, were held under limited light conditions.
