Town Hall, in the small Scottish town of Kelso in the Borderlands of Scotland and England.

---

Kelso Town Hall which was built in 1816 by public subscription to replace the old Tolbooth. The original design has been changed, with the ground floor arcade having been enclosed in 1905. The Town Hall clock, in its octagonal tower, has, over the years, been a source of controversy, with residents of local hotels complaining of being disturbed by its chiming every quarter. With the demise of the Town Council and the local court, the interior has been refurbished and now contains the Registrar's office, function rooms and the Scottish Borders Tourist Information Centre. In front of the Town Hall can be seen the bull ring, set in the cobbles, to which farmers used to tether their animals on market days.
