Description
A tour of Argyllshire's old and new jail is well worth the time. The old premises have been converted into a museum and the exhibits document in an unusual way the history of Scottish crime from the 16th to the 19th C. The old courthouse contains life-size models of well-known criminal figures during their trials, while displays in the tiny bare cells recount the crimes of the former prisoners.
