Tour Scotland short 4K late Summer early Autumn travel travel video clip of the Mercat Cross and cottage on ancestry, genealogy, family history visit and trip to the village of Kinrossie, Perthshire, Britain, United Kingdom. Kinrossie mercat cross also called market cross, now enclosed by railings, stands beside the public road at the centre of the village. It consists of a stepped plinth, a shaft and moulded head, in the form of a St Andrew's cross with each arm defined by a bowtell moulding) and is surmounted by a ball finial. The date of 1686 is no longer visible. A mercat cross is the Scots name for the market cross found frequently in Scottish cities, towns and villages where historically the right to hold a regular market or fair was granted by the monarch, a bishop or a baron. It therefore served a secular purpose as a symbol of authority, and was an indication of a burgh's relative prosperity. Historically, the term dates from the period before 1707 when Scotland was an independent kingdom. Of interest to folks with ancestry, genealogy or Scottish Family Roots in Scotland who may wish to visit one day. Find things to see and do in Scotland where you are always welcome. When driving on Scottish roads in Scotland slow down and enjoy the trip. According to the meteorological calendar, the first day of Autumn or Fall always falls on September 1.
