| About | The Tolbooth Museum is one of Aberdeen's oldest buildings and the best-preserved 17th-century gaols in Scotland. It is a 17th-century former jail that is now operated as a museum. It features the displays of local history and the development of crime and punishment through the centuries. Their collections include the Maiden and the blade of Aberdeen's 17th-century guillotine. The old prison also shows the story of the escape of Alexander Keith along with the stories of some of the Jacobite prisoners. Their museum provides a unique experience in the form of its atmospheric 18th-century cells, original doors, and barred windows. Assistance dogs are welcome. |
