Sundials at Wemyss Castle:

A bronze horizontal sundial stored inside the castle was viewed by Dr Andrew Somerville in 1985.

The obelisk sundial that was photographed by Dr Somerville in 1985 at Wemyss Castle was moved back to Invermay during the 1990s. A sundial indicated on the terrace southwest of the castle on the OS provisional edition (1931 - 1969) at NT32909 95088 was probably this obelisk. For its site at Invermay see NO01NE 85.05.
