What is recorded here
Airth, Castle View, Old Cross may have marked a medieval market place where people gathered to trade, argue and remember the town's boundaries. Whether a wooden frame, stone base or simple painted post stood there, the name preserves a moment when Airth belonged to shared human activity rather than private memory. Castle View still gives the old cross a living address, while the uncertain date keeps it honest.
