See my website www.sundialsofscotland.co.uk for photos of the three sundials at Aberdour Castle. Go to the "Sundial Register" page and choose the "Register with one sundial per page" option. This brings up a .pdf file. Enter Aberdour into the find option. Then scroll down to see the details including photos of the three sundials.
