Old Prison House
<div>Purpose built and opened in 1848, this handsome neo-Tudor building was Wigtown’s prison for 30 years. It was then adapted for use as the town Police Station with a house for the policeman and remained as such until after World War II when it was sold to a local agricultural fertiliser business. It was later sold on again becoming a private residence in the 1950s.</div><div>Four of the original nine cells remain – two of which are on show. They are dark and cold, inhabited now only by spiders. Remnants of graffiti etched into the lime-washed walls bear testimony to previous two legged inmates.</div>
