Dunblane's jail and police station at the top of the high street in 1904. It was erected in 1842 on the site of the old town mansion of Viscount Strathallan, and replaced an earlier tolbooth built in 1650 which stood on the east side of the main entrance to the cathedral churchyard. When the adjacent County Buildings were opened in 1844 Dunblane became the court town for West Perthshire until this was removed to Stirling Sheriff Court in 1975. The old jail was demolished in 1963, and the site laid out with present rose garden while the old County Buildings now lie empty.

Photography was a serious business in Victorian times. These two solemn worthies were Angus Crawford, and Archibald Dougall, respectively Sheriff's Officer and Court Officer in Dunblane, 1876.
