NS67SE 1 6524 7411.
Kirkintilloch Market Cross, which existed for several centuries, was maliciously destroyed in 1815 by local vandals. It appears to have been an octagonal pillar with steps. It was removed to the Luggie for safety and put in the bed of the river behind the old mill dam near to where the stream joins the Kelvin. Since the sewer pipes were laid there all trace of the stone has been lost.
