Statement of Interest

Note: as rebuilt at Schivas the balusters have been set

Note: as rebuilt at Schivas the balusters have been set

square instead of diagonally and the dimensions of the

table, podium and platform step all reduced. The balusters

are said to have come from the Earl Marischal's house

but were not originally part of the sundial. There are a

few other sundials of lesser note at Schivas, all imported.
