Market Cross
Although there is no market held now in the town of Culross yet it is
written that this Cross was orginally erected for a Market Cross. In the
charter of King James VI to the burgh dated 1588 there is given the privilege of
the above is not the original Cross as it has the date 1819 cut on it but is according
to tradition on the site of the original one.
THe Tron (Remains of)
The Tron is probably ancient, but if it was erected immediately
after the town was raised to the dignity of a Royal burgh in 1588
I would expect to find it in the vicinity of the Market Cross.
