Gifted to the people of Callander by Lord Esher the owner of the Roman Camp House at that time. The south end of South Church Street has recently been subject to a programme of urban landscaping with the sundial incorporated into the scheme.

White limestone sundial comprising of a circular shaft with an elaborate Ionic capital on a moulded base. The capital is surmounted by a flat square head with a metal dial. The shaft inscribed with date '1753' and the inscription ' I mark not the hours unless they bring light, I mark not the hours of darkness and night, My promise is only to follow the sun, And point out the course his chariot doth run'.
