Summary
Stone memorial cross erected by the Duchess of Northumberland in 1774 in memory of King Malcolm III (Canmore) of Scotland who was killed on or near this spot while besieging Alnwick Castle in 1093. Legend has it that the castle's Steward rode up to the Scottish king to surrender the keys of the castle in the time-honoured tradition of passing them over on the end of his lance. However, once within arm's range of the king, he decided to use his lance to greater effect by treacherously slaying him on the spot.
