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.
Hospitalfield House is an early Arts & Crafts Scottish Baronial country house, left in trust in 1890 to support artists. It was designed and built by Patrick and Elizabeth Allan Fraser from 1843, and the dials were designed by Alexander Brown. The stone came from the quarries owned by Patrick Allan Fraser at Brax and Drumyellow, near Woodville and Boysack which is just to the north of Arbroath.
This dial declines about 40° east of south, and shows hours III (above the horizon line) - XII - III, divided to half and quarter hours.
