Kirkcudbright Tolbooth

Kirkcudbright Tolbooth Built around 1625-1629. Now featuring Artistic & Local History, Contemporary Exhibitions & Gift Shop.

The Tolbooth Art Centre was opened in 1993 by H.M The Queen. The building was originally opened in 1629 (with later additions) as Kirkcudbright’s Tolbooth when it was used as a Town Council meeting place and office, Burgh and Sheriff Court, and the Criminal and Debtor’s prison. Its most famous prisoners were Captain John Paul, later known as John Paul Jones, hero of the American Navy, and Elspeth McEwan, the last woman burned for witchcraft in Galloway.
