Title
Old Sheriff Court
Description
Listed Category B, c 1870 Occupying the former Aitken Brewery site this building was designed by Thomas Brown in Baronial-Jacobean style (crow stepped gables and conical roofed turrets) to replace temporary hostelry accommodation for the new post of Town Sheriff. The hammer-beam roof to the courtroom is a striking internal feature. Unfortunately, the oriel windowed police station wing which formed an attractive part of the original complex is now replaced by a car park. The building is now occupied by the Falkirk Voluntary Group. Disabled Access to First Floor W.C.
