Sanquhar Tolbooth
The Tolbooth was built in 1731-1735 to replace an earlier Tolbooth which was in a ruinous condition. The stone came from the newly vacant Sanquhar Castle. The architect was William Adam, from the family who went on to enjoy royal patronage as architects. The building was the administrative centre of the town. Now the Tolbooth is a heritage museum showing Sanquhar's world famous knitting tradition and the story of the mines and miners of Sanquhar and Kirkconnel, and more. The Tolbooth is a Category A listed building. https://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/200386477-high-street-tolboothtown-house-mid-and-upper-nithsdale-ward#.WwbZiDGWzwo
The road which narrows very significantly to the right of the Tolbooth is the main A76 trunk road from Kilmarnock to Dumfries.
