Popularly known as Perth's mercat cross, though, strictly speaking, it is in fact the Edward VII Memorial. It is the focal point of Remembrance Sunday in Perth. The burgh's original mercat cross stands in the ground of Fingask Castle. For an explanation of mercat crosses, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercat_cross
