By great good luck there wasn't a car parked in the space in front of the cross, or it would not have been possible to photograph it. It is a rebuilding in 1872 by John Miller of the old mercat cross, carved in 1675 by Daniel Ross, that stood outside the old kirk. Behind is the curved wall of William Robertson's Town Hall of 1822-1823, with distinctive triple doors. The Seafield Arms Hotel is to its right.
