A new discovery at an island abbey in the Firth of Forth has revealed the Augustinian canons who once lived there measured time using a mass dial.
Conservationists working at Inchcolm Island found the remnants of a special sundial which they believe may have been carved into a wall.
Until now mystery has surrounded the method used by the order to tell time.
