Dial in Tayside Region

The dial stands on a square column with chamfered corners, about 3 ft high on a square base. It is a rectangulaqr block about 2.5 ft high divided in two square sections each with various-shaped hollows resembling the shaft of an obelisk dial but larger (380 sq) and patterns atypical; there is a ball on top marked as a dial with indent for a shield or plate which has a separate piece of stone shaped to fit. The gnomons are formed in the stone except for the south hollow where there is a hole for a gnomon. The dial was originally at Panmure House.
