| Period Notes |
Built in the late 16th century as a storehouse by the Earl Marischal but became the Tolbooth when Stonehaven became the county town in about 1600. After 1624, the town business functions were conducted on the upper floor, and the ground floor was used as a prison. A north wing was added in the 17th century. 1767 it had reverted to its former use as a storehouse. The Tolbooth was gifted to the town of Stonehaven by the Marquess of Landsdowne in 1934. It was restored in 1963 and used as a museum. There were further renovations in 1975. The museum closed in March 2011, and reopened two months later and is run by volunteers.
