What is recorded here
Dundas Castle, Fountain and Sundial belongs to the seventeenth century, when a fountain and sundial marked the estate of Dundas. Water moved under sunlight while the shadow measured the hours, turning ordinary days into visible life. The castle may have fallen or changed, but the fountain and sundial still suggest a household that watched time pass with patience.
