Crail Market Cross

Market Cross (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Crail Market Cross as Market Cross (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Crail Market Cross is associated with St. Moluag, a 6th-century Irish missionary and founder of the early monastery on the Isle of Lismore. The cross may have been a site for both secular trade and religious observance, reflecting the integration of Christian practice in Scottish coastal communities during the medieval period.
