< Back Crail Town Hall Crail Town Hall, Marketgate, Crail, Anstruther, UK Indoor events Box Office 0333 666 3366 hello@crailfestival.org Description Discover the Charm of Crail Tolbooth and Town Hall Nestled in the heart of Crail, Fife, the Crail Tolbooth and Town Hall is a striking Category A-listed building that tells the story of this picturesque coastal town. Standing proudly at the junction of Marketgate and Tolbooth Wynd, this historic gem is a must-see for visitors exploring Scotland’s rich heritage. A Building Steeped in History The Tolbooth and Town Hall were built in two distinct parts. The Tolbooth , dating back to the 16th century, showcases classic Scottish medieval architecture with its rugged rubble masonry. In 1776, it was enhanced with a charming pagoda-style bell tower, complete with a 16th-century bell cast in Rotterdam. Look closely, and you’ll spot the quirky weather vane, a Crail Capon (haddock) , a playful nod to the town’s fishing traditions. The Town Hall section, initially built in 1602, was redesigned in 1814 by architect John Corstorphine. Its elegant façade features sash windows and a grand council chamber that once hosted the Royal Borough of Crail’s meetings. Later, in 1886, local architect John Currie added refinements, including the striking central doorway. A Living Piece of Crail’s Community For much of the 20th century, this was the hub of local governance. Even after local government reorganisation in 1975, the Town Hall remained a focal point, becoming the meeting place for the Royal Burgh of Crail and District Community Council . In May 2019, the building took centre stage once more when the Lord Lyon King of Arms processed past it to proclaim the granting of a coat of arms to the community—a proud moment in Crail’s history. Visit Today Though the public library (once housed here) closed in 2016, the Tolbooth and Town Hall remain a cherished landmark. Whether you’re drawn to its historic architecture , curious about its unique haddock weather vane , or simply soaking up Crail’s coastal charm, this building is a fascinating stop on your Scottish adventure. Plan your visit to Crail Tolbooth and Town Hall, where history and community come alive. what3words https://w3w.co/moon.bordering.manages Access and Accessibility There is level access into the hall, then stairs or a lift to the first floor, and then level within the gallery.
