Tour Scotland video of snow falling on the old Mercat Cross on visit to Scone Palace by Perth, Perthshire. Scone Market Cross formerly stood in the village of Scone. It was all that was left when the village was removed in 1803. About 1854 the cross was moved about 10 yards to the south of its original site to permit the construction of a carriage drive, and its bench of steps was used for building purposes. This cross stands on a mound of earth on the south side of the carriage drive. It is generally as described as being an octagonal shaft rising from an octagonal block of stone and surmounted by a floral decoration.
