Tolbooth, High Street, New Galloway, Category B listed tolbooth in New Galloway, Scotland
The New Galloway Tolbooth stands at the center of High Street with its traditional Scottish stone construction and clock tower marking the town skyline.
Built as a municipal center, this structure served as both a courthouse and jail during the period when local governance required direct administration of justice.
The building represents the Scottish tradition of tolbooths, which combined legal proceedings, tax collection, and civic administration in smaller market towns.
The structure maintains its position as a central landmark in New Galloway, accessible from the main road and visible from multiple points in town.
The tolbooth retains its original metal prisoner restraints fixed to the exterior wall, demonstrating historical methods of public punishment.
