Canongate Tolbooth
Canongate Tolbooth is a historic landmark of the Old Town section of Edinburgh built in 1591 as a tolbooth, that is, a courthouse, burgh jail and meeting place, for the then separate burgh of the Canongate. The building is now occupied by The People's Story Museum and is protected as a category A listed building.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=163 Canongate, Canongate Tolbooth (Ref:27582) )〕
==History==
The tower of the tolbooth was built in 1591, and the block to the east of it at that time or slightly after, by Sir Lewis Bellenden, justice-clerk and feudal superior of the then independent Burgh of Canongate.〔 It served as the administrative centre for burgh which was outside the Edinburgh town walls, acting as courthouse, burgh jail and meeting place of the town council.〔
In 1875 the City Architect, Robert Morham completely restored and remodelled the exterior giving it back its medieval look (based on Gordon of Rothiemay's map of 1647).〔 The first and attic floors were combined to make a single floor, now the The People's Story Museum.〔〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Canongate Tolbooth )〕
