Mercat cross, Stonehaven
Thought to date from the mid-17th Century, but heavily restored and a new head added in 1887 (Queen Victoria's golden jubilee). The head shows the Burgh arms (per fess: in chief paly of six or and gules, in base azure), which are inspired by those of the Keith family (argent, a chief gules three pallets or), but to differentiate it, the (horizontal) fess line is unusually low, as well as the change of tincture (colours): the azure (blue) base for the Stonehaven arms pays homage to its status as a fishing port. The motto "veritas vincit" (truth will prevail) is shared by the Burgh and the family. Behind, on the wall of the Townhouse, the barometer served a vital weather-forecasting function for fishermen.
