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.

Auchterhouse Church, Auchterhouse

This vertical dial is set in the east gable of the church. Hour lines are marked in a hemi-cylinder correctly aligned. There is also a triangular hollow on either side. The date 1630 is on the corbel above, not on the dial itself. (Note also the vertical south dial just around the corner, SRN 1752)
