Copy of C 50145 CN
Scope and Content Hanoverian arms in council-chamber inside Dunbar Town-house, East Lothian Dunbar Town-house built after 1593 when the inhabitants were ordered to cart stones from the quarry at Innerwick 'for the bigging of the Tolbuth'. It replaced an earlier tolbooth so ruinous that once a court was held in the churchyard. A canvas painted with the Hanoverian arms hangs over the south fireplace in the council-chamber. It may have been painted by Alexander Mackbyth, presumably some time after 1714. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
