OS 25" map (1866)
The market cross of Crieff stands against a public building in the principal street. The shaft ends in a trefoil head the carving of which incorporates a shield bearing the Drummond Arms. The cross is said to have been erected by James Drummond, Chancellor to James VII, but its condition and design suggest a much greater age.
