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 dial stood on an elegant baluster about 2 ft high but is now broken and separated. It is a cube about 9" wide with four cup hollows marked as dials. The date 1708 is on the side. There is reported to be a horizontal dial on top but it was not seen because the plinth is broken from its pediment and the whole stands upside down.
The dial was originally from St Fort, Fife.
