Some of these are in private gardens, but the majority are publicly available.

Rosslyn Chapel, Rosslyn

In 2002, the dial was painted red and dismounted from its pedestal on the grave of Sybil Mary Mildmay, wife of the 13th Earl of Westmoreland. (The grave is to the NE of the site.) It is very worn, with no time scale visible. The pedestal is of fluted circular section slightly bulbous with square plinth and circular capital. Update August 2016 - the dial is now re-installed on the pedestal. Ref: A R Somerville, Proc Soc Antiq Scot, 117, 1987, "The Ancient Sundials of Scotland".
