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.
