Tour Scotland photograph of the Tolbooth in Clackmannan, Clackmannanshire, Scotland. This clock tower was once used as a prison. The remains of the which stand in the main street, consist of the west gable and bell tower. The architectural detail is suggestive of the 17th century, and this is consistent with the fact that, prior to the passing of an Act of Parliament on 5th June 1592, Clackmannan had no Tolbooth, courts of justice being held at the Burgh Cross. Also just visible are the Mercat Cross and the Mannan Stone from which the town's name is derived.
