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 Tayside Region

The dial is a small facetted block with a horizontal top with a raised north-sloping block in the centre with an equatorial dial (no star). There is a south-facing polar hemi-cylinder. Other surfaces are flat or with hollows (east and west) with stone bar gnomon across the cusp of a heart. There is a south vertical. The north side is flat and unmarked as if previously mounted on a wall or pillar. All metal gnomons are missing. The dial is inscribed ’SPH DMS’.
