Author: Michie,Charles Date: 1887 Purpose: Catalogue.of.Antiquities.in.the.Archaeological.Mus
"Lock of the condemned cell in the Old Tolbooth, Aberdeen (1700-1800)."
Author: Inglis,Jim & Curtis,Neil Date: 1990 Purpose: Encyclopaedia of the North-East
"The padlock comes from the Tolbooth which was the ancient burgh jail for new Aberdeen. It was known as the 'Mids o' Mar', the heart of the district of Mar. The original Tolbooth was erected during the reign of Robert III, King of Scots, in the late 14th century. It was rebuilt in 1629 and improved and enlarged again in the 17th and 18th centuries. It now stands next to the 19th century Town House in Union Street. This is a large, square, rivetted, iron padlock and its ornate key from the Tolbooth. It would have been used to lock the door of one of the tiny cells in which the prisoners were kept, in this case the condemned cell. The keyhole would have originally been protected by a hinged flap. It dates from the 18th century."
