Mercat cross, Fraserburgh
This fine A-listed (LB31867: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB31867 ) mercat cross (with modern replica head) has a date of 1736 on the shaft. At the top are the earlier royal arms of James VI (James I of England) and Charles I as used in Scotland (until 1649). Below are what seem to be hybrid arms of Fraser of Philorth and the Burgh of Fraserburgh. According to Burke's General Armory, the Fraser arms should be quarterly 1st and 4th azure three fraises argent; 2nd and 3rd argent a lion rampant gules. The burgh arms should be (according to Urquhart: Scottish Burgh and County Heraldry) quarterly 1st and 4th purpure three fraises argent; 2nd and 3rd gules a lion rampant argent. So, the tinctures (colours) are not consistently correct for either arms.
