Haddington, Court Street, Town House, Category A listed municipal building in Haddington, Scotland.

The two-story stone structure features an arcaded ground floor, council chambers, and a prominent steeple that rises above Court Street.

William Adam designed the Town House in 1748, replacing a medieval tolbooth that had served as the municipal center since the 15th century.

The Town House bell maintains a centuries-old tradition, ringing at 7am and 10pm daily since 1532 to mark the community schedule.

The building currently hosts East Lothian Council meetings and committees, with a new hybrid system allowing both in-person and remote participation.

A plaque inside commemorates the hospitality extended to the 10th Polish Mounted Rifles during World War II in 1942.
