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 plinth is a cylindrical columnon a square stone step, about 2.5 ft high. The dial is a cubic sandstone block anout 1 ft square, with vertical and reclining dials and a horizontal on top. It rests on the sculptured bust of a lady whose arms are replaced by round vertical dials (east and west). All solid copper gnomons are present, but lines are faint. It came from Carberry Tower, Edinburgh, as reported in Ross and Gatty, and was removed to the present site in 1984.
