Scope and Content 1940s photograph of Strathmiglo Town-house, Strathmiglo, Fife Strathmiglo Town-house probably replaced an earlier 16th-century tolbooth. The steeple was added in 1794 and the main block was rebuilt in the 19th century. The steeple is the oldest surviving part of the structure. Its square clock-faces were renewed in 1921. Its bell, cast in 1766 in London, bears the motto: TEMPUS FUGIT. Strathmiglo was established in 1600, 91 years after the local laird, Sir William Scott of Balwearie, gained the right to create a burgh of barony. By the 1800s, the burgh was a thriving weaving centre. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
