The dial is on one face of a cube, very weathered but with the date visible. The date is on the North face, with a lion rampant on the W face and initials EIM (of 1st Earl of Middleton) on the E face. It may have been moved here in 1670 from Kincardine. The octagonal supporting shaft has punishment rings (’for tying bad women to’) and a Standard Yard (Ell) length mark (37.5 ins). It stands on six octagonal red sandstone steps.
