Dating from 1998 this dial of Caithness stone was made by Belinda Eade and it declines 4° east. It shows the hours VI - V undivided. Across the top is the motto ,Umbra Solis’ (The shadow of the sun). The bronze rod gnomon has the letter H in red beneath its root (this stands for Henrietta, the owner’s wife) At the bottom of the dial is a representation of the ecliptic and the constellation of Cancer at the time of Henrietta’s birth. The date appears in Roman numerals set vertically at the left of the dial plate.
