Kirkgate
Steep processional route between palace and church and the cross. In a rose garden is the bronze statue of John Hope, 7th Earl of Hopetoun, and first Governor-General of Australia, 1911, by Sir George Frampton. Early 19th-century classical County Hall, possibly by William Burn, renovated, along with the Town House (now collectively known as the Burgh Halls), in 1962 by Rowand Anderson, Kininmonth & Paul. Nos 1-3 Kirkgate, c.1700 or earlier, is an attractive group with painted window and door surrounds. Road and square repaved in 1997 in diorite from Kentallen and flagstone from Caithness.
