BRIDOL is the British Sundial Society's Register of Fixed and Mass Dials, which gives detail and photographs of about 8000 fixed sundials and 3000 mass dials in the UK.

Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Dial in Grampian Region

There are two dial cubes. The lower rests on a stone table supported by 9 closely-packed stone balusters, mounted on two square steps. The whole is about 240 high overall. The cubes have bowl hollows on all sides, separated by a decorated stone pillar. The lower larger cube has dials N, E, S and W with gnomons. The upper cube is marked for SE, SW. NE and NW with declining gnomons but has been wrongly set up, facing the cardinal points. There is a ball on top.
