For most of the 19th century, community events in Colinsburgh were held in the local school, but, in the early 1880s, the artist, Lady Caroline Coutts Lindsay, led an initiative to establish a dedicated town hall.

[1][2] The site they chose for the new town hall in Main Street was occupied by the Countess of Lindsay's sewing school.

The central bay featured a prominent porte-cochère formed by square Doric order columns supporting segmental archways with voussoirs and keystones surmounted by a parapet.

On the first floor, there was a large Diocletian window, also with voussoirs and a keystone, flanked by pilasters with finials and surmounted by a gable containing the inscription "Colinsburgh 1894 Town Hall".

[11] A programme of works to refurbish the town hall and to remodel it internally was carried out with financial support from the National Lottery Community Fund and was completed in 2011.
