A note in MS 5741/8/24 and correspondence in MS 5741/8/29 indicate that when Dr Andrew Somerville visited Professor Robert D Lockhart at 25 Rubislaw Den North in September 1978, there was a cube sundial lying at the door. This sundial was dated 1692 and carried the motto 'POST EST OCCASIO CALVA'. Professor Lockhart was at the time honorary curator of the museum in Marischal College, and had urged the university 'to have the sundial properly set up'. The current location of this sundial is not known. (Anne Cassells, 4 February 2010).
