The Old Town House is the building in Falkland High Street containing the Violin Shop (historically Bryces's Store) with accommodation above, and Campbell's Cafe (historically the Co-op store and later Warbeck's) with Warbeck House above.
The term has also been used, perhaps erroneously, to refer to Falkland Town Hall.
The three previous buildings on the site were demolished to build it, but the tower at the north side was retained at Mrs Margaret Tyndall Bruce's insistence. Her initials appear on a plaque.
