025.10 | This name is applied to a large round stone with a hole in the middle said to be what was the pedestal of Gordon's Cross. the first design or use of which is very uncertain some record it as being the place where offenders were hanged while others say that it was a market cross - or for some religious purpose - a few think that it is connected with some event of the battle of Mortlach. but the General belief here is that it was a market cross as the markets of the district were held in an adjoining field until about 30 years ago. |

County of Banff -- Parish of Mortlach
" And not far from thence is a part of the public road, on the
opposite side of the same rivulet, leading to the east, called Gordon's
cross; the first design or use of which cannot now with certainty
be discovered; and suppositions are countless. It might be for
some religious purpose, or it may have been a market place.
A round stone, which is thought to have to have been the pedestal of
the cross remains to be seen."
