Hospitalfield House (2), Arbroath

Hospitalfield House was designed and built by Patrick and Elizabeth Allan Fraser from 1843., and the dials were designed by Alexander Brown. This one declines about 50° west of south, and shows hours IX - XII - VIII, divided to half and quarter hours. Above is a long table of the Equation of Time, which allows for the longitude difference fron Greenwich. See also the adjacent SRN 8574, and SRN 4481 and 4482. Ref: https://hospitalfield.org.uk
