Cross House, built at the beginning of the eighteenth century. An extension was added to the west in the mid eighteenth century. Built of rubble and harled and painted, it has crow stepped gables and raised painted margins to the windows and sandstone margins to the windows of the extension. Another important landmark stood to the west of the Cross the Golden Cross hostelry. It was here that Robert Burns became a member of the local masonic lodge in 1787. Now replaced by modern flats, all that remains is a plaque displaying the coat of arms of Dean of Guild, James Crawford, who

once lived there.
