SCOTTISH SUNDIAL

[Dennis Cowan]

Many thanks to all who provided details and photos. Perhaps not the answer I 
was hoping for, but not unexpected. It's good though to find a couple of 
other dials with the same compass and motto. Thanks again.

I wonder if anyone on the list can help?  I received photos of this 
sundial from a lady in the USA.  She aquired it whilst she lived in 
Scotland some twenty odd years ago.  I'm trying to trace the possible 
origins for her.  I am not sure if the date of 1684 is genuine as it looks 
quite fresh, but a reproduction would surely use a known motto and I have 
never heard of this one "Ye Shade Teecheth".  The compass is also unusual 
to me.  Does anyone have any opinions?


Is it original or a reproduction.?  Does anyone recognise the motto or 
style of compass?


Many thanks

Dennis Cowan

Sundials in (or near to) Dubai

[Len Berggren]

Hello.
I'm going to be visiting Dubai and the region around it soon and I wonder
if anyone knows of any sundials in that region?
