The Tron Kirk, like so many of the city's churches, has now been repurposed. There is a market hall here.

Built between 1636 and 1647, John Mylne’s design for the Tron was modelled on contemporary Dutch examples and boasts one of Scotland’s two surviving hammerbeam roofs. The kirk takes its name from the public weighing beam that stood outside of the building. This was an important gathering point, where goods were measured, and where minor criminals were punished. Beneath the Tron are archaeological remains of Marlin’s Wynd, the earliest paved street in Scotland.
