Tolbooth Steeple

Situated at Glasgow Cross, the steeple is all that remains of the Tolbooth which was built in 1627 to house Glasgow's council chamber and administrative headquarters. It also served as the city prison. The old building was demolished after the First World War. Evidence of where the building was attached can be seen in the difference in stone colour on the left hand side of the tower.
