The original stocks at some time sited on the South side of the Town Hall were removed into the Town Hall for safety in 1952 and a replica resited at the Scotsgate. In 1988 these were repaired and resited here. Stocks were in common use from the 14th Century as a punishment for petty misdemeanours. In Berwick the first record of the stocks in use as 1684 and they may have been used as late as 1857. The last official record is for 1849 when a woman was imprisoned in the for 4 hours for non-payment of a court fine for drunkeness. The Berwick stocks could accomodate 3 persons seated on a bench with their feet through the holes, imprisoned by clasps, bars and padlock.
