Stonehaven Tolbooth Museum — Attraction in Scotland

Stonehaven has much to offer the visitor besides Dunnottar Castle. The Toll Both Museum is sweet and they made plenty of effort with the displays. Do go see for yourself. It's free, and currently open only on Saturday and Sunday 12:30 to 15:30. I believe that from April '23 onwards the museum will be open during the week from 1:30pm to 4:30 pm ( please check with the Museum yourself for more accurate details about the exact date thereof :⁠-⁠) I can see that they would welcome a donation although the Museum is absolutely free. Unfortunately I didn't have any coins or notes on my person, otherwise I would have put my change in the 🫙. Try to remember taking a couple of coins with you.:⁠-⁠) - you're also likely to run into a real life movie star at the Museum who will tell you a story or two about Stronehaven "back when". A real character. Apologies -I can't remember his name unfortunately. They also play a video in the back about the"Fireball" tradition on New year's. Incorporate it into your trip. It's always nice to be entertained by yesteryears stuff, isn't it? Enjoy...

They...
