Greenlaw, Castleloan Toll Bar stands as a post Medieval toll house in the Scottish Borders, charging passage rather than offering hospitality. Imagine a keeper sitting inside, counting coins from carts that rumbled past under grey skies. The arrangement sounds harsh until you picture local people relying on that road to reach markets, family or work. The bar marks the moment travel became transactional even in small border towns.
