Description

Little Cross, located on High Street in Elgin, dates back to 1733. It features a round stone shaft topped with an Ionic capital, a four-faced sundial, and a cast-iron finial that stands on a four-stepped circular base. The carved faces on the finial may represent St Giles or the Virgin and Child, and they appear to be of medieval origin.
