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.

Parish Church, Durisdeer

The square dial plate, with a chamfered egg-and-dart edging, is sunk in the stone wall of the church. Across the top is the date 1609. Hour numerals are upright Arabic, for 6am to 6pm. No hour lines or any other furniture remain. The gnomon remains but is rusted and the tip is missing.
