What is recorded here

Brechin Castle keeps a sundial whose shadows still trace time across Angus. The castle itself has faded into legend, but the dial remains clear enough to mark noon without argument. Perhaps it belonged to someone who watched the seasons change rather than conquered them.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Brechin, Brechin Castle as Sundial (period Unassigned). 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.
