Brodick Castle, Sundial in Walled Garden — Report the wrong picture

What is recorded here

Brodick Castle keeps a twentieth-century sundial inside its walled garden, marking daylight on North Ayrshire stone. The castle has stood for centuries, yet this dial arrived later, suggesting its keepers still wanted to measure time rather than defend land. Shadow and light continue that old conversation, unchanged by human empires.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brodick Castle, Sundial in Walled Garden as Sundial (20th Century). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.

Brodick Castle, including the sundial in its walled garden, was built by the Kennedy family, who have held the estate since the 13th century, with the current castle dating mainly from the 17th and 18th centuries. The castle is important as a historic seat of the Earls of Cassillis and as a well-preserved example of Scottish aristocratic architecture and landscape design.
