The Tolbooth, Clackmannan.
The remains of the Tolbooth, which stand in the main street, consist of the west gable and bell-tower. The architectural detail is suggestive of the 17th century and this is consistent with the fact that, prior to the passing of an Act of Parliament on 5th June 1592, Clackmannan had no Tolbooth, courts of justice being held at the Burgh Cross. The masonry is rubble. The gable has back-set quoins, while the quoins of the tower are rusticated. The tower terminates in a slated spire, ogival in form and similar to that on the tower of Alloa Church.
