Description

Watercolour on paper, CALMG:1935.80.10
The Scotch Gate was one of three gates into the city. It was on Scotch Street on the junction of East and West Tower Street. It was more strongly constructed than the other gates because it was part of the defensive northern wall facing Scotland. The rooms above the gate housed the City Prison for a time. This gate was the last to be demolished in 1815.
