What is recorded here

Darnaway Castle, Sundials holds two shadowed dials on the Moray coast, marking time in stone since the Post Medieval era. They measure days when the sun clears the hills, but they also measure patience, waiting for someone to read the line across the rock. The castle loomed above them, yet these small instruments did the real work of making the world orderly.
