Market Cross, Kincardine-on-Forth.
The market cross stands at the southern end of the High Street, and consists of an upright octagonal shaft with moulded base and capital, placed on a rise of six octagonal steps having a spread of 14 ½ feet. Above the square abacus is a stone sculptured with the arms of the Earls of Kincardine on the one side and a thistle ornament on the other. The arms are: Quarterly, 1st and 4th, a lion rampant; 2nd and 3rd, a saltire and chief. The shield is flanked by two men in armour as supporters, is surmounted by a coronet and helm, mantled and wreathed, and has for crest a naked arm, flexed, issuing out of a cloud and holding a man's heart. The cross must be later than 26 December 1647, when the Earldom was created.
