Scope and Content Castlelaw Tollbar, Greenlaw, Berwickshire This is a comparatively late and ornamental tollhouse. The building is in some respects typical of its type, with its projecting central entrance, and piended roof. The bay windows and the open pediment above the doorway are however unusual features. Houses like this were used for collecting payments for the use of a stretch of road. The right to collect tolls was usually auctioned, giving the turnpike trust an assured income, and encouraging the keeper to collect the tolls assiduously. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
