Scope and Content Plans of Sanquhar Town-house, Dumfries and Galloway Sanquhar Town-house was built on the site of an earlier ruinous tolbooth. The 3rd Duke of Queensberry paid for the new building. The timber came from Leith, and the stone from the quarry at Cleughfoot and probably also from the ruins of Sanquhar Castle. A doorway was inserted in the south wall when the ground-floor school-room was used as a railway-contractor's office in the mid 19th century. The three cells are all barrel-vaulted. The south windows of the court-room appear to have always been blocked. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
