Scope and Content Tollhouse, Lanark Racecourse, Hyndford Road, Lanarkshire This tollhouse was built to collect tolls from users of the old main road from Glasgow to Carlisle, now the A73. This road was designed by Thomas Telford. The tollhouse is a small single- storey gabled building, built of sandstone, with a slate roof. The front features a projecting central bay, its door flanked by windows from which the toll-keeper could look up and down the road for customers. On toll roads users paid for the right to travel on sections of road. This tollhouse controlled access to the important market town of Lanark. The gates removed from this toll-bar in the 1880s are now at Lanark Auction Mart. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
