Scope and Content Toll-house, Boat o' Brig, Moray, from west-north-west This view from the west-north-west shows the toll-house with its four-columned (tetrastyle) Doric portico. This is one of the most architecturally distinguished toll-houses in Scotland, and its quality reflects the prestige of the original bridge, which, as the name suggests, replaced a ferry. Tolls on Scottish roads and bridges were abolished in the 1880s, but most toll-houses remained inhabited, often by roadmen and their families. By the 1960s the smaller ones were being declared unfit, but many of the larger ones are still inhabited, like this one. This toll-house was built to collect tolls from users of a suspension bridge constructed over the River Spey to designs by Captain Samuel Brown in 1831-2. It looks along the axis of the bridge, which was replaced in 1956 by a steel girder bridge on the same site. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
