A tolbooth was erected in the town in 1670. Within eighteen years, however, it was found to be ruinous and aid from the Convention of Royal Burghs was sought. A wing was added to the tollbooth which created accommodation for a town hall and a prison was maintained until 1839. A new town hall was built in 1871 (Dunn, 1971, 63).
