This Is My Glasgow<p>Despite its reputation for being a bit rainy at times, Scotland has more historic sundials than anywhere else in the world, mostly dating from the 17th and 18th Centuries. There is even a type, known as an obelisk sundial, which is unique to Scotland. Many, like this one, have multiple dials and gnomons (the bit which casts the shadow used to tell the time), and were probably designed more to be decorative than functional.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/kingspark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kingspark</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sundial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sundial</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/scottishsundials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>scottishsundials</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/sculpture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sculpture</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/publicart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publicart</span></a></p>
