NX65SE 37 6807 5089 to 6807 5090.

A market cross, dated 1610, stands at the top of the steps of the Tolbooth (Kirkcud 55 NW 9). Until the 19th century it stood north of the tolbooth, in the High Street, where a stone marks its position.

RCAHMS 1914; J W Small 1900

The market cross at NX 6807 5089 is as illustrated by Small.

Surveyed at 1:2500.

From the description given by RCAHMS its original position would appear to have been at NX 6807 5090 where there is a stone, partly tarred over, sunk in the road; this, however, could not be confirmed locally.
