OS 6" map (1932)
These are two exactly similar sundials, dating from 1635. They were moved from another part of the grounds to their present position before 1889. The modern octagonal pedestals rise from octagonal bases. The octagonal dial-stones are panelled in two tiers; the lower contains dials only, while the upper, as well as dials contains initials and arms of the Lothians.
