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 stands on an elegant stone baluster on a square base, about 2 ft high, probably not the original plinth. It came from ’Viewbank’, Leuchars, and probably originally from Leuchars Castle. It is a roughly 1 ft cube with corners chanfered off producing octagonal faces with vertical dials on E, S and W, and date on the north face, and a horizontal dial on top. Numerals and lines are distinct and the date is readable.
