In the village of Swinton in the Scottish Borders, the local football pitch has a stone mercat cross for a centre circle. Known as the "12th Man of Swinton", the cross was used to the home team's advantage during league matches.

(the village is the namesake of actor Tilda Swinton)

@WeirdScotland I think her family owned the village. Maybe they still do.
