A court-room and assembly room were added to the Court Street (west) side of Adam's Town House in 1788, over the colonnaded Haddington Market. The Haddington Town House steeple was replaced in 1831 by James Gillespie Graham. The bell in the steeple rings at 7am and again at 10pm to suggest waking and bed-time. This curfew-bell has rung since 1532 and is a wonderful tradition to be kept alive.
