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.

Dial in Tayside Region

The dial stands free on the lawn in front of the school’s main entrance and celebrates the school’s centenary. The glass reinforced concrete disc bears a pattern of leaves and seeds to represent nurture and growth. A circular hole in the centre is filled with glass bearing the text ’1913 / 2013’ surrounded by ’LABOR OMNIA VINCIT’, and behind the dial a Time Capsule is buried under a circular slab with the same message. The dial shows hours 6am to 6pm with Arabic numerals and strip hour lines, all in bronze, and the gnomon is a plain bronze rod.
