Glamis burgh and village. Although there is evidence to indicate an early Christian settlement at Glamis (NO33NE0069), much of the present village dates to the 18th century, built by the 9th Earl of Strathmore, partly to re-house estate workers whose cottages had been removed during redevelopment of Glamis Castle and its surrounding estate. Glamis was made a Burgh of barony in 1491 by James IV. In the centre of the village The Square and the mercat cross (NO 3850 4672). The mercat cross was first erected in the 17th century but removed after markets ceased to be held and lost until it was found in the grounds of Glamis Castle in the 1970s. In 1976 it was re-erected, with a new base and finial added to the original 17th century column. The church (NO34NE0016), with origins in the 7th century, lies at the north east end of the village. The Main Street is orientated east-northeast to west-southwest, and comprises a mix of 18th and 19th century houses culminating at the west end with two pumps - a cast-iron Victorian fluted pump with a lion's head capital (by Glenfield Co. Ltd, Kilmarnock), and a more utilitarian ashlar pier pump of the earlier 19th century.
