| Supposed site of Old Tolbooth (Continued) | [continued from page 15] The Seagate In ancient times it also included the market cross and "Tollbwith" or Town House. Both stood nearly opposite the foot of Peter Street which was completed and opened for passage only in 1775. The site of the Cross since removed to the High in 1586 is identified by a peculiar arrangement of the stones on the Causeway in the form of an octagon and the Town House from a stone which was dug out of the foundation when the site was preparing for the erection of the buildings opposite the foot of Peter Street, seems to have been built about the middle of the 13th.
