Glendoick Castle, Glendoick

A stone seat with two vertical dials side-by-side carved on the back, the arms of the seat acting as gnomons; date 1776; hour lines and numerals appear rather worn. The verse is noted in The Antiquary’s Notebook Vol 6 Iss 10, Oct 1910, as: I stand on earth and do not move, Yet represent Heaven’s Courts above. He that doth look on me well may Remember how Time slips away; Yet like a casten courtier none Doth look on me when sunshine’s gone
