(104) Dysart...

...was deserted. This is the tollbooth and town house in the village of Dysart, which is part of the town of Kirkcaldy. The medieval Tollbooth and 19th century Town House were comprehensively repaired in 2009, following centuries of neglect. The project reinstated original finishes and conserved historic features, including graffiti of sailing ships carved into ancient cell doors.


The building’s fascinating history includes surviving a gunpowder explosion that blew off the top of the building in 1746.
