Mercat Cross

As in many other towns with tradition in Scotland, shows the market cross which was the commercial center in the village since ancient time, which in Callander is historically important. The cross itself is curious because instead of showing the typical unicorn on its column stands the rampant lion, a symbol historically linked to England. But its most important feature is that it is dedicated to the cross of the clan (also named Fiery Cross) Legend has it that the cross of the clan should be used when two clans came to an agreement or closed a deal. A wooden cross with the cruise representing two wings, which had to be soaked in the blood of a lamb and then lit with fire, which symbolized the punishment for that clan that broke the agreement: the betrayal was paid with blood or fire.
