Town Hall
Image: © Anne Burgess Taken: 8 Apr 2014
A rather forbidding building, on a steep slope so that when you go in the main door on Shore Street, you are faced with a vast staircase up to the actual hall on the first floor. A competition was held to design it in 1884, and the winning architects were the partnership Pirie and Clyne - John Bridgford Pirie and Arthur Clyne, with their apprentice Alexander Lorimer. The hall was openeind in 1885.
