"The market square" Dunkeld Things to Do Tip by ettiewyn

Dunkeld has a small and pretty market square with a traditional market cross made of stone. This was one of the first ones I saw, but later I saw these market crosses all over Scotland.

When Dunkeld was a busy market town in the middle ages, the cross marked one end of a long thoroughfare, leading from the cathedral to the market square - it was along this route that people sold and purchased their goods every friday. Today, the cross is surrounded by pretty white houses.
