[2] It was a two-story building with a steeple: it contained an assembly room for the burgh leaders on the first floor and a lock-up, which was partly below ground, for petty criminals.

[4] It was designed by the locally-born architect, John Currie, in the Scottish baronial style, built in rubble masonry and was completed in March 1873.

There was a small bartizan at the left hand corner of the building and, behind and to the right of the doorway was the old steeple, which featured clock faces and a belfry and which was surmounted by a spire.

[6] Another plaque was installed, in June 1951, just on the left of the doorway, to commemorate the life of the locally-born golfer, James Braid, who won the Open Championship five times.

[9] In December 2020, a local community group made an offer to Fife Council to acquire ownership of the building.
