Secret Sundial

Not really a tower and not really a clock...

Before the clock we had the sundial. This wonderfully complex sundial, possibly dating from the 1600s, hides away in a gloomy corner of Duthie Park Winter Gardens.

Apparently it has been in the park since 1900, but I would love to discover where it was before.

Other sundial spottings would also be of great interest. I have already had one on a church clock tower (triple -score!) from my friend Lola. (Her awesome blog.) There is one in the walled garden at Castle Fraser where I work, too.

Wonder if the city archives might tell you something about it? We should make a list! (and then I can work on it when I'm old) :)
