This blue commemorative plaque records: Mercat Cross. The market cross (mercat in Scots) was Dunfermline's main meeting place. In the days before newspapers and television, official proclamations were made here atop a stone platform. This cross dates in part from 1626 but has been rebuilt and moved several times.
