Tolbooth Lamp Post 2025

25th January 2025

In October 2023 an article was posted on our website in which the Lamp post at the Tolbooth was discussed. https://www.kirkcudbrighthistorysociety.org.uk/news/8114/  Unfortunately during Storm Eowyn 2025 the lamp part has been blown off and the etched panel damaged. Hopefully this will be repaired soon.
