As you will know, what remained of Fortrose's old Mercat Cross was sadly damaged in May this year.  Fortrose and Rosemarkie Community Council is working with The Highland Council and Historic Environment Scotland to repair and possibly restore the Cross, but this is likely to take some time.

In the meantime, we are keen to hear views on possibly relocating the Cross.

The current site, on the junction of Fortrose High Street and Academy Street leaves it vulnerable to traffic damage.  Alternative locations that have been suggested so far include in Cathedral Square, in the grounds of the Cathedral itself (likely to have been the original location) or in the grounds of the Academy.

We are would like to hear your views.
