Perth mercat cross, Market cross in Perth, Scotland.
The Perth Mercat Cross features a cylindrical stone shaft rising from a square base with four carved balusters and a statue representing commerce.
The current structure, erected in 1913, represents the fifth version of Perth's market crosses, with the original dating back to medieval times.
The cross displays thirteen carved crests of town guilds, representing the historical trade organizations that influenced the commercial development of Perth.
Located on King Edward Street next to Perth City Hall, the cross serves as a central meeting point and reference for navigating the city center.
The top section of the third version of this cross, demolished in 1765, remains preserved in the grounds of Fingask Castle to this day.
