Prestwick became a burgh at the very early date of 1170, which meant it was able to hold markets, something signified by the display of a mercat cross. The mercat cross on show today (in the latest of a series of locations it has occupied) in front of the Post Office dates back to 1777, probably replacing an earlier wooden one. By the time the current mercat cross was constructed, Prestwick was already a thriving industrial centre, with locally mined coal being used to evaporate sea water to produce salt.
