Scope and Content Barnhill Tollhouse, Perth, Perthshire This is an unusually elaborate classical tollhouse, built beside the old Perth to Dundee road, on a sloping site, with a basement. There is a broad central projecting bay with side windows, flanked by a door and a table of tolls. This view shows the house from the north, with the table of tolls to the right of the central bay. The use of inset Doric columns in a building of this type is unique in Scotland, and the severity of the classicism notable. The severe, uncompromising classical monumentality of this building is probably due to its situation on the edge of the Kinfauns estate, whose great house was designed by the monumentally-inclined Sir Robert Smirke and built 1820-2.
