The mercat cross in its present form was erected in 1913 as a memorial to King Edward VII, though its design was based on the historical cross, one of only five in Scotland to have an elaborate understructure. The half-turrets are an added touch of Scots Baronial architecture, which was an extremely popular style in Victorian Scotland.
