The Tolbooth is a 17th century gaol or prison in Aberdeen, Scotland that is now a museum and no longer holds prisoners. It was built 1616 and 1629 and is attached to Aberdeen Sheriff Court.
The museum contains exhibits of prison cells and various police and law and order related items.
Its most famous prisoner was the 17th century Fittie Witch Janet Walker. It also housed over 50 Jacobite prisoners after the Battle of Culloden
