Dial in Highland Region

The dial stands on a slender fluted light-coloured stone column about 4 ft high, with a square head and round base section. The date 1741 appears on the plinthbut may not apply to the dial. The dial is a small facetted dark stone block with north-sloping top with equatorial dial (no star); south-facing polar hemi-cylinder; other surfaces flat or with various-shaped hollows including spade-shaped and triangular (east and west); dials on all available surfaces including north and south verticals.
