Greyfriars Burial Ground (2), Perth

This a north vertical dial over a side gate in the north wall, but is mounted in the south-facing side of the wall. A motto (indecipherable) is on scrollwork placed around a skull all mounted on top of the dial block. It shows 4-8am and 4-8 pm in hours in Arabic numerals. The dial face is spalling in the area around 6-8pm. Hour lines end at a small engraved circle around the position of the gnomon root though there is no sign of any support there - or the hole has been infilled. The remains of a gnomon are visible at the centre top.
