Cromarty Market Cross consists of a square base of three steps, probably 18th century, upon which the original base and upper half of the shaft have been set. The date 1578 can still be seen on the head of the cross. Mr James Hogg (High Street, Cromarty) pointed out its original position against the wall of an outbuilding in The Causeway at NH 7932 6723.
