Scope and Content Wick Town Hall, Highland Wick Town Hall replaced an 18th-century tolbooth which was so insecure that the council suffered severe financial penalties because of escapes. The original design was considered too costly and a smaller, more compact scheme was adopted. Originally there was a courtyard at the rear with two identical prison blocks. These have been demolished and replaced by later extensions. A new sheriff court-house was built next door, to the north-east, in 1862-63. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
