The mercat cross in Culross, on the north shore of the Firth of Forth in Fife. This is one of Scotland's best conserved and most beautiful villages and the nearest thing you'll find in the country to a 16th century time capsule. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/cul

The mercat cross in Culross. The image shows a square in a village paved with large cobbles and sloping from right down to left. The mercat cross dominates the left centre of the frame and there’s a child on a bicycle to its right. In the background and on the left are white painted old buildings with red pantiled roofs. The sky is blue.

Preston Cross, often said to be the finest mercat cross in Scotland. Erected in the early 1600s, it still stands on its original site, though the world around it has changed in a way that now makes its location look quite odd. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/pre

Preston Cross. The image shows the circular stone base with the shaft of the mercat cross on top of it, in the centre of the frame. There is a painted unicorn on top of the shaft. The base is surrounded by a square cobbled area, and then grass, with low stone walls behind and to the right, with a road further on the right. There are bungalows in the background.

Three historic landmarks at Glasgow Cross. On the right is the Tollbooth Steeple built in early 1600s, while in the distance on the left is the Tron Steeple, built in the 1630s. In the foreground is the Mercat Cross. While it's built in a 17th Century style, it was only erected in 1929 to replace the original which was removed in 1659.
