One of two impressive, 15 feet high sundials at Newbattle Abbey College. The main parts are from 1635, although the plinths are 19th century. The octagonal dial stone is supported by four odd winged sphinxes, and features rows of bronze gnomons below family emblems, initials and carved stone profiles which also act as sundials. Above the main block is a ring of bearded heads, four balls and an obelisk with needle finial.
