Translated by Google Market crosses like this one are found throughout Scotland to mark the places where markets were legally held. A city's cross was often its symbolic center, as markets and other communal events took place alongside it. and the absence of such an important monument must have taken a toll on civic pride. The new cross was paid for by Dr. William Black and his wife and its unveiling on April 24, 1930 was a day of great pomp and ceremony. The structure is in the form of an octagonal tower with the cross which is topped by a heraldic unicorn holding a shield rising above it. On the west side of the tower a plaque declares it to be The Mercat Cross of Glasgow, built in the year of grace 1929. Above is the city's coat of arms with its motto Let Glasgow prosper. Original Las cruces de mercado como esta se encuentran en toda Escocia para marcar los lugares donde los mercados se celebraban legalmente. La cruz de una ciudad era a menudo su centro simbólico, ya que los mercados y otros eventos comunales tenían lugar junto a ella. y la ausencia de un monumento tan importante debe haber hecho mella en el orgullo cívico. La nueva cruz fue pagada por el Dr. William Black y su esposa y su inauguración el 24 de abril de 1930 fue un día de gran pompa y ceremonia. La estructura tiene la forma de una torre octogonal con la cruz que está rematada por un unicornio heráldico que sostiene un escudo que se eleva por encima de ella. En el lado oeste de la torre una placa declara que se trata de The Mercat Cross of Glasgow, construido en el año de gracia de 1929. Encima está el escudo de armas de la ciudad con su lema Let Glasgow prospere.
