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 table of tolls, recently repainted in 1976, but from the style of lettering apparently authentic. Note the exceptionally finely dressed and jointed ashlar masonry. 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.
