English: As seen on the mercat cross of Edinburgh. They depict the stag and cross from the story of Scotland's 12th-century king, David I. While hunting in the forest of Drumselch, he was thrown from his horse and about to be gored by a stag when he had a miraculous vision of a cross appearing between its antlers. The stag withdrew, thus confirming the King's belief that his life had been spared through divine intervention. Tradition has it that he founded Holyrood Abbey on the spot where the vision occurred. The tale is strikingly similar to that of St. Hubertus and was likely spread by the abbey's Augustinian canons to the its founding.
