A reminder of Forfar's role as chief town in the shire is the building to the north. This was erected in 1821-4 as the Sheriff Court House figure 24, the Playfair building to the south proving to be somewhat confined for the many roles demanded of it. The two-storeyed red ashlar building, designed by David Neave, has a northern bow gable facing up Castle Street, once called 'the Spout'.
