Built in the Tudor Gothic style, this impressive castellated stone structure enjoys glimpses out across the Firth of Forth.

The Town Hall was constructed in 1826, replacing an earlier medieval building which was hit and seriously damaged by lightning. Part of the original building is thought to date back to the 12th century. Latterly it was used to provide the debating chamber, offices and prison cells for the Burgh Council. The new building was designed by the architect Thomas Hamilton (1784-1858) and was used for Council functions for almost 150 years but fell into disrepair in the 1980s.

It was restored in 2009 by Fife Historic Buildings Trust who know run it as a holiday let.

Accommodation is on the 1st and 2nd floors, with the old ground floor jail housing the office of Fife Historic Buildings Trust. The apartment has been sympathetically restored, retaining many period features. The rooms are furnished in keeping with the history of the building, while providing all the modern amenities you would expect.

There's a magnificent living/dining area on the 1st floor with floor-to-ceiling windows and 2 stone fireplaces, one with a gas-fired stove. A perfect space for the whole group to meet and relax. The carved, wooden dining table seats 6, and there are 2 large comfy sofas. Off this huge room is a well-equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are on the top floor.

Bedroom 1 is truly unique with its wooden sleigh bed, exposed wooden beams and stonework, ‘port hole’ windows and the original bell housing.

Bedroom 2 is a twin room with stone fireplace.

Bedroom 3 is a single room for 1 adult. The bed is a ‘continental double’ and could accommodate 2 children if they were willing to share! The en-suite bathroom has WC, sink and rain shower.
