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 Highland Region

The dial stands on a narrow cylindrical column about 2 ft high. It is a facetted block about 1.5 ft high with north-sloping top with equatorial dial (no star); south-facing polar hemi-cylinder; east and west hollows with bar gnomons, other surfaces flat; dials on all available surfaces including north and south verticals. The dial is worn but some numerals are visible and some metal gnomons are present, probably restored. Ref: A R Somerville, Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 117, 1987, "The Ancient Sundials of Scotland".
