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.
The dial sits on an octagonal pedestal on a large double octagonal stepped base, on the lawn in front of the castle. It is signed in a flowing script at the north ’John Hiller, Edin’. There is a 16-point compass rose at the centre, labelled to NNW etc. The hour numerals are Roman, read from the outside, IIII - XII - IIII - VIII, with a noon gap, and divided to 30, 15 and 7.5 minutes, with a fleur-de-lys for the half hours.
