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 dial is on a flat roof against the wall of a house in the village. It has declining S and E dials, the lines faint. The several dials in Melrose are on houses built by the masons at work on nearby Melrose Abbey.
