A symmetrical building with a clock tower on the roof. Iron railings line the front steps.

The Tolbooth is a fascinating old building to explore, full of museum displays plus the ancient prison cells beneath.

There’s an interactive children’s pod with handling artefacts, dressing up, puzzles and colouring.

Try to spot all the hidden Lego minifigures depicting characters from Sanquhar’s history and Gracie the Dragon has questions for young visitors to help them discover the stories around the museum.
