The Public Weighing Scales of Scotland

Found in East Lothian, Scotland, is the village of Stenton. It is a small agricultural village with a couple of buildings and patches of farmland. The main produce of this village back in the medieval period were grain, hides, and wool, all of which were sold at markets each week. Erected at a market was a public balance called a tron. At one time, trons became a common sight across rural Scotland.
