EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by David Williams showcases the ancient tolbooth at Fortrose in Scotland. Steeped in history, this remarkable structure served as both a local prison on the ground floor and a court house and council chamber on the upper floor. Located within the picturesque grounds of Fortrose Abbey, this architectural gem stands proudly in Ross and Cromarty, forming an integral part of the Highland Region. The image captures the essence of Scottish heritage with its rich brown sandstone walls that have weathered centuries of time. The intricate railings surrounding the building add to its charm, while a grand staircase leads visitors to its imposing doorway. Every detail tells a story, from the worn steps that bear witness to countless footsteps to the sturdy outbuilding standing nearby. As one gazes upon this photograph, they are transported back through time, imagining what life was like within these walls during their heyday. It is a testament to Scotland's past and serves as a reminder of how architecture can encapsulate history. David Williams has skillfully captured not only the physical beauty but also the geology and significance of this historic site. This print is truly an homage to Fortrose's ancient tolbooth - once a bustling town hall where justice was served and decisions were made - now frozen in time for all admirers of Scottish culture to appreciate.
