Scope and Content Sheriff Court, Ferry Road, Dingwall, Highland Dingwall, despite being the county town of Ross and Cromarty, remained small with little trade until its harbour was built in 1815-17. Connection to the rail network in 1862 fuelled further expansion. The town-centre was redeveloped in 1963. The Sheriff Court (left) was built in 1842-5 by Thomas Brown Junior in Tudor style. Its courtroom contains its original furnishings. The rear range (right) was built in 1864 by Andrew Maintland. Styles like Tudor, based on early Renaissance architecture, became popular in the 19th century, because they reflected national, rather than Classical, architectural traditions.
