The earlier Mercat Cross was removed in 1756 as a traffic obstacle: its site is marked in the pavement, just a few metres from its present location. The Cross is embellished with the Scottish Royal Coat of Arms and the arms of Edinburgh, the Burgh of the Canongate, Leith, England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland, all in true heraldic tinctures. Public proclamations are made from the gallery three days after proclamation in London (that being the time a horseman takes to travel between the two capitals).</p> 15C -1885 Museum 1711 current,55.86362,-4.261207; High Street Edinburgh 9350 No Sydney Mitchell 10.00-16.00 No No No No No No No No No No EH1
