On the corner of Moss Street and High Street is the site of the Town’s Tolbooth.

The tollbooth served three purposes, acting as the municipal building where the official Weights and Measures of the town were held in order to check on traders it also acted as Burgh Courthouse and Town Jail.

The original Tolbooth was given over to the newly formed Burgh in (1491) by Abbot George Shaw.

In (1610) it was rebuilt due to its dilapidated condition two further re-buildings took place in (1751) and 1882). In (1868).

However the foundation work for a building being erected adjacent to the tollbooth serious undermined its stability and two years later it had to be demolished to make way for the City of Glasgow Bank built in the 1870s.

Sadly the Bank has gone and is now occupied with shops.
