Mercat Cross & Old Steeple

A mercat cross is an old market cross found in Scottish towns and cities where merchants would gather. They became focal points for local gatherings. Dundee's Mercat Cross dates back to 1586, is carved from stone and features a resin-bronze unicorn sculpted by Scott Sutherland in the 1960s.

The Old Steeple is Visit Scotland's oldest surviving medieval church tower. Standing for over 500 years, it houses medieval carved stones, an Antiquities Room, and the Cap House. Brave the 232 steps to the top for a breathtaking bird's-eye view of Dundee.
