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.
The obelisk stands some 8-10 ft high, set diagonally on two square steps. It was originally at Barnton House.
The shaft has five square panels on each side with verticals and very elaborate sinkings, and the date 1692 on the lowest panel. The boss is standard with no hollows, eight verticals on the octagonal band, corners cut out, reclining and inclining dials above and below. The finial has seven panels, all with dials.
