The Jougs

Wednesdays -1pm-4pm

The Jougs, located in the centre of Kilmaurs, served as meeting place for local worthies and the magistrate, as a collection point for customs dues, and as a place of imprisonment and punishment for miscreants. The tolbooth is still known locally as the jougs after the iron neck ring and chain still attached to the external wall near the tower steps. It is now opening as an exhibition space, run by local volunteers. Come along and discover more about the history of Kilmaurs through collections curated by our museums team
