We have very little information about this dial. The pedestal might be a converted stone font. It is apparently dated 1888 but this may or may not be the date of the dial. The Retreat was built as a hunting lodge by the Earl of Wemyss in 1784. The possible maker’s name is based only on the use of a bisected hemispherical gnomon side supporter which was known to have been used by either or both of the Richards Bate. Further information requested.
