Scope and Content Reconstruction of Dingwall Town-house, Highland Dingwall Town-house was started after six years of discussion and took ten years to build. The contractor, a member of the council, completed it in 1745. (The 1730 date-stone in the Church Street wall came from another building.) John Boog visited Forres Tolbooth and built a prototype model before building the original octagonal clock-tower. This was rebuilt roughly twenty years after the photograph was taken. From 1782, the ground floor was a jail. It was condemned as unfit in 1830. In 1836 it was reopened for criminals but not for debtors because their escapes had cost the burgh too much money in fines. It had two large cells and one small one for lunatics. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
