Scope and Content 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. The second-floor council chamber was decorated by Alexander Mackbyth in 1686 but panelled in the early 18th century. This, along with the timber for the windows bought in 1723, was probably paid for out of the 1714 ale-tax. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
