The Fraser plan for the town included an east-west route that crossed the north-south Broad Street. Go west along this road and you'll come to the site of the town's university. It was established by an Act of Parliament in 1597, but lasted only briefly.

Alexander Fraser had great ambitions for his burgh, but little is known about the university and little is left of it except the 'Moses stone' in the South Kirk. The university suffered from bad management and internal politics. As a result, the Rector was exiled and the university closed.

This road links the harbour of what was originally Faithlie with the equally-old fishing community of Broadsea, what we call 'Braidsea'. If you choose to walk there and back, you'll find what is now an attractive conservation village.
