1 1 See p. in.
Digitized by VjOOQIC SCOTLAND IN THE TIME OF QUEEN MARY 349 They were not surrounded with great walls with towers, like the towns on the Continent, but most of them were defended by stone-dykes, which, however, were usually in a very broken down condition. It was against the law to climb over these dykes into the town, but as they were generally full of holes it was very easy to slip through them, and this the boys in the town constantly did. If any one wished to enter the town, ...he had to pass through one of the ports or gates ; and, if he had any goods with him, he had to pay a toll to the gatekeeper.
The interior of the town was also much the same as it had been in the Middle Ages. The streets were no cleaner, swine went about just as they had always done, the town was no better lighted, and it was not safe to be out of doors after nightfall. In earlier times the chief public building in every town had been the parish church, but now in most of the principal towns there was another public building, called the Tolbooth, in which the courts of justice met and criminals were imprisoned.
