The Tolbooth is Stirling's place for music and arts and hosts The Blend Festival in the spring each year. The Tolbooth itself is an A listed building with a fantastic history which you can still 'feel' today. As a parliament, court, jail and execution spot, the Tolbooth has had its fair share of gruesome tales and historical moments - James VI is said to have convened a parliamanet here too. Now,however, the building's radical redevelopment by Richard Murhpy architects, has turned the building into one of Scotland's newest award winning arts venues. The Tolbooth has two performing spaces, meeting and rehearsal space, a recording studio, shop, cafe / bar and restaurant.
