Suie tollhouse is a nineteenth-century toll collection facility located in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. The structure represents the infrastructure of Scotland's turnpike road system, which expanded significantly during the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to facilitate commerce and travel across the country. Tollhouses of this period typically served as modest residential buildings where toll-keepers collected fees from users of improved roads, forming an important part of the network of controlled routes that characterised Scottish transport during this era. The site's survival contributes to understanding the administrative and economic mechanisms of roads in the south-west of Scotland during this period.
