Nothing now remains of the building where 224 Covenanters were imprisoned in May 1685 in deplorable conditions, packed into two rooms in the tollbooth without food or water. They had been shipped to the town from Leith They were then marched all the way to Dunnottar Castle near Stonehaven. For more information, see https://www.burntisland.net/churches-article4.htm.
