Claim: Carnwath is home to Carnwath Cross which was erected by the 5th Lord Somerville in 1516 and also has the Carnwatch Parish Church.
Evidence: At the centre of Carnwath is Carnwath Cross, the mercat cross, set back a little where the Main Street widens to form the Market Square. This was erected by the 5th Lord Somerville in 1516 to celebrate the granting of burgh status to the village in 1514. On the opposite side of the main road from the golf club and motte is Carnwath Parish Church.
