Dated 1885. Sundial with extravagant mannerist ornament, one of perhaps 3 19th century replicas made of the identical pair of sundials erected at Newbattle in 1635. Ashlar. Sundial proper is a massive octagonal block, with crests and 2 tiers of dials, held by 4 grittins above panelled octagonal base on concentric stepped plinth. Decorative tall obelisk finial on 4 balls above elaborate consoled support.
Copies of the Newbattle dials were made for Lord Haddington and for Lord Hume (this dial is believed to have been made for Douglas Castle) - see MacGibbon and Ross, CASTELLATED AND DOMESTIC ARCHITECTURE OF SCOTLAND, vol V, pp472-4 (description and sketch of Newbattle dial); volume first publishdd 1892, ie after this sundial was made.
