Kirkside Place

Sorn, Ayrshire - NS 552270 - Ross 477

Two facet dials of very different dates.

A cube dial of 1686 and a pillar dial from 1727.

The latter originates at Inveresk House and has an ogee and pineapple finial. It bears the initials O.C. (Oliver Coult) Med. Doc. 1727.

Visited 07 June 1981 - A. R. Somerville

There is also an obelisk dial at Kirkside Place

 

 

 

Despite the fact that Sorn is tiny I have not been able to pin down these dials to more than the OS grid reference given by Somerville. There is a possibility that it is in fact Kirkside House in which case it might be easier to find.

There are no images or tales as I have not visited Kirkside Place in Sorn yet and Ross does not include it.
