NT4165 : Former tollhouse

taken 3 years ago, near to Peaston, East Lothian, Scotland

Former tollhouse
Former tollhouse
Less than a mile eastwards from the B6367, Ormiston Road at the boundary between Midlothian and East Lothian is 'Toll Cottage'. The OS 6" survey 1853 plots a cottage without a toll. The OS 6" 1892 plots the cottage as Preston Toll. So possibly a toll to cross the county boundary.
