Crail Tolbooth

Historic tolbooth and town hall on Crail's main street, marking its old royal burgh status.

Crail Tolbooth and Town Hall stands on the main street, with a tower and clock that give the village its civic marker. It is a small building, but in a place as compact as Crail it has real presence.

Notice it on the way between the upper village and the harbour. It helps explain why Crail feels more substantial than a simple fishing hamlet.

A story
Crail was once a royal burgh, and the Tolbooth is the building that makes that status visible. In a village now known mainly for prettiness, it hints at an older civic and trading importance.
