Book Review

This review covers 'The Ancient Sundials of Scotland' by Dennis Cowan, describing it as a beautiful picture book illustrating Scottish dials like Obelisk, Lectern, Multi-faceted, Mercat Cross, Globe, Church, and House Dials. The book highlights Scotland's unique 17th & 18th-century dial traditions, influenced by the Calvinist world and the Netherlands.

The first letter describes an innovative focusing sphere lens made of lucite and copper sulphate, designed for use in a sundial. The second letter confirms that Samuel Turner, a diallist, was also the sculptor of his own tombstone which features a direct west dial.
