Many thanks to all who provided details and photos. Perhaps not the answer I
was hoping for, but not unexpected. It's good though to find a couple of
other dials with the same compass and motto. Thanks again.

I wonder if anyone on the list can help? I received photos of this
sundial from a lady in the USA. She aquired it whilst she lived in
Scotland some twenty odd years ago. I'm trying to trace the possible
origins for her. I am not sure if the date of 1684 is genuine as it looks
quite fresh, but a reproduction would surely use a known motto and I have
never heard of this one "Ye Shade Teecheth". The compass is also unusual
to me. Does anyone have any opinions?
Is it original or a reproduction.? Does anyone recognise the motto or
style of compass?
Many thanks
Dennis Cowan
