Tour Scotland photograph of the Mercat Cross in Kinrossie, Perthshire, Scotland. The Mercat Cross, or Market Cross, stands in the centre of the village. There is a circular shaft and the head shows on one side a St Andrew's Cross and on the other the date 1686. Scottish emigrants to countries such as Canada and especially Australia took the idea of the mercat cross with them, and several cities in the New World have or once had them in the town centre.
