Lochrist cross and fountain

On the right, don't miss Lochrist’s cross and fountain. Now standing in the middle of a field, they once lined the road up to Lochrist, which was straightened out during the land reforms. The cross stands on an ashlar base with steps. Dated 1611 or 1617, it features Christ on one side and the Virgin and Child on the other. 

The round-arched fountain is set into the surrounding wall. The back stone is carved with a figure. The paved area is entered by two steps surmounted by a stile, a stone on its edge used to prevent animals from entering the sacred space. The spring flows into a square basin feeding a rectangular washhouse outside the enclosure.
