The structure also is the original erection in all its essential features. Its walls are of early thirteenth century date, thus indicating its existence prior to 1261. It has a picturesque external staircase of open woodwork, giving access from the street to the level of the first floor, where the "Great Chamber" is situated, access being gained through a doorway of Early English moulded work; while the lobby of approach is lighted by a two-light open arcade, of somewhat later date. A very quaint figure of Justice, with sword and scales, stands on a projecting buttress; and the high-pitched roof, and the general features of the design, are both of considerable artistic interest. Internally, the Great Chamber has lost its open roof, which was replaced by a flat ceiling, probably in 1622, when it was "fitted up for assemblies." The windows, too, are square-headed, with wood frames and mullions; but there are several features of the original work of great beauty, while others peep temptingly from the plastering and whitewash of more recent days. Below the Hall is the "pit," or common hold, wherein prisoners were thrust indiscriminately, and chained to a horizontal beam, which has long since disappeared. In this portion of the building the doors are iron-bound, and very solidly framed.

Excerpt from The Antiquary, Vol. 5: A Magazine Devoted to the Study of the Past; January-June, 1882 Feasting held a prominent place in the New Year festivities. Human nature is much the same in all ages and in all countries, and what was done on the banks of the Tiber was done in the north-east corner of Scotland. The old Roman put on his holiday attire, and en joyed the sights to be seen in the streets the inauguration of the magistracy, with all its imposing ceremonies.
