Kilhenzie Castle, Sundial

Sundial (period Unassigned)

What is recorded here

Kilhenzie Castle, Sundial stands in South Ayrshire, Scotland, marking time rather than storing treasure. Its exact age remains unassigned, but its purpose is clear: read the sun’s angle and know when an hour passed. The castle may have fallen, yet the sundial still works whenever light touches it. Shadow and stone continue the measure without needing a keeper.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Kilhenzie Castle, Sundial as Sundial (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
