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.

St Mary’s College, St Andrews

This cube has dials on all four faces, but very little detail now remains. On the south face, hour lines can be seen but little else. The west face has a coat of arms and the initials ’DWC’ (Dr Walter Comrie, Provost of St Mary’s College in 1685). The date of 1664 was visible in 1982. The plain column is approximately 2000 high; it has a square finial and stands on a modern concrete base.
