Sundial, Ecclesmachan Kirk
Image: © William Starkey Taken: 2 Feb 2013
A sundial set into the wall of Ecclesmachan Kirk, with the motto "Carpe Diem"* just visible on its fading stone face. This image was taken at 14:00, so the time indicated by the sundial is reasonably accurate. * "Carpe Diem" from Horace, "Carpe diem quam minimum credula postero" ("Seize the day, putting as little trust as possible in the next").
