This pediment came from a house in Cairds Wynd, now demolished, and is at present stored in the weigh-house on the quay*. It is roughly triangular and contains a shield parted per pale: dexter, a sheaf of arrows; sinister, a bow. The shield is flanked by the initials I.R. and G.W., and below is the date 1642.

*[a weigh house is shown at NO 5669 0357 on the 1914 of the OS 25-inch map (Fifeshire sheet xxii.12). The site is now (2020) occupied by the Harbour Office]
